Why does a dog lick his shmackel sack?


I was servicing a couple yesterday when they began arguing. The woman kept trying to initiate new questions before her husband was ready. He finally said, 'Look, I'm tackling one problem at a time today, that's how this is gonna work'. Made sense to me. Then he said 'why do you always do that?!' and walked away angry. She smiled at me, put her hand on my arm and quietly said 'because I'm a woman, I'm used to doing several things at once'. I felt her. She looked like a mother, a little tired, but even in that moment when her husband was being a little irrational, she wasn't ruffled or mean. She spoke calmly, she wasn't being arrogant, just honest. And she had a sense of humor, which I love to see in women.

My coworker told me almost that exact same story a few weeks ago, a conversation between her & her husband. I never thought about it much but its very true. Women are thrifty, time-saving, effective, productive power houses in many ways.

There are new cooking shows where you cook once and eat three times. Even your food is multi-tasking. Same concept. Now they're gonna pay some 20 year old fresh out of cooking school to teach us what women have probably been doing for years, just out of being naturally efficient. I usually think of what I'm making tomorrow while making tonight's dinner. Case in point, while I was stuffing my turkey thighs the other night, I went ahead and took those same fresh amazing herbs already out, lemon and tons of garlic and added orange juice to start marinating these chicken legs overnight. Then the next day, I had this amazing fall off the bone stewed chicken with very little effort.

Why does a woman do three things at once. Because she can.
