If you read this blog you read Annie's so I don't have to explain who Camden is to you guys. (Just in case he's the little guy Annie watches on Mondays and Tuesdays.) Well, he left his computer here, and tonight Hannah and I played with it and her Barbie 'puter. Can I tell you these things couldn't be any different if they tried.
-Hers: It's pink and light blue with gold stenciling, thin and elegant with picture of Barbie and some animals on the top.
-His: While it's blue, it's dark blue and yellow. It's got the words Bob the Builder in big bulkie letters. It's big and bulkie and looks like it would survive a nuclear blast.
-Hers: There is a small button under a little jewel that opens it up.
-His: The button on top. It's bright red, and completly obvious.
Her: There are about a billion buttons that all do various things. You may have to have a masters in computer science to unlock its maximum capabilites. The numbers aren't even really legible. If you didn't know they were there, you would miss them.
His: The buttons are huge, and look like they are meant to be hit with a hammer. They are simple. There are pictures and numbers on each button that are easy to read.
Hers: The On/Off switch is the same button it's small and in the bottom right hand corner. If you don't know where it is you'll have trouble finding it.
His: There is no On/Off button. There is an On button. And there is an Off button. They are distinctly different and mutually exclusive. They are clearly marked and easily defined.
Am I the only one that sees the irony in this?
Women are elegant, and beautiful and (for the most part) fragile. Men are Big and bulkie and as they say on Seinfeld "Good for gettin around, like a Jeep." Women have about a billion "buttons" that aren't easy to find and don't always work the same way. Men's "buttons" are much easier to "find" and almost always work. Speaking of "buttons"...Sometimes what turns a woman on will also turn her off (Just like Hannah's Computer!). It just depends on the situation. The lighting. The timing. Needless to say conditions have to be perfect. What turns a man on is what turns a man on (Just like Camden's). It almost always works.
Maybe it's different for you, but I know for me these two innocent children's toys hit a little too close to home, if you know what I mean.
A stream of consiousness from a random guy who cares nothing about spelling or grammar news, but love GOD family friends & football (mostly Clemson football)

Where do you come up with this stuff? :) I never knew so much "wisdom" could be gained from simple children's toys!
