Is there an inherent difference between boys and girls? Definitely.

Since we had been out of bread and milk and any kind of fruit for two days, I decided I should finally drag my ass to the store this morning.

I hadn’t showered in two days, (not even after a 90 minute run yesterday) but it was already 8:30 and the kids were starving.

So I threw on a hat and a bra and my flip flops,

licked my fingers and rubbed the raccoon eyes from my lower lids,

and ran out the door.

My husband was already gone, so I told Number 2 he was in charge and that I would be back in 20 minutes.

I ran into ShopRite, grabbed the essentials, and was back home in under 20 minutes.

It was a new record.

I pulled into the driveway and carried the groceries inside.

I didn’t hear anything.

I looked for the kids.

I found the girls in the playroom.

They had set up a tea party.

They looked like this:

They asked if they could eat breakfast in the playroom.

I couldn’t say no.

They looked so cute.

I asked them where the boys were.

“Upstairs,” they said.

I went to the bottom of the stairs.

I didn’t hear anything, so I walked up to one of the bedrooms.

And this is what I saw:

What the hell was that?

And then Number 2 showed me.

He had taken some old boxes we had lying around and cut two holes in each of them.

One to fit your head in, and one to look through.

Then, he took my iPad and Number 3’s kindle and placed them face down on the hole on the top of the box.

Next, he folded the flap over.

and he covered the entire opening with a blanket.

You know,to make it like a movie theater.

Now they could watch whatever stupid show or movie they wanted to without having to even hold anything.

Or actually sit up.

Men are from Mars and women are from Venus?

Yes.

I’d say that’s accurate.

Gotta go.

I need to get a patent application for Number 2.
