I’ve always been a bit of a feminist and have fought stereotypical gender roles, but over time, I’m finding that maybe men and women are better at different things. 

Take for example power tools.  Yesterday I thought I would have my husband show me how to use the hedge trimmer.  I’m home now, so I can help out with yard work (usually his job).  He gave me a quick tutorial (it is a very easy tool to use) and then I was off on my own. 

I was doing ok and having fun using my power tool, but then it happened.  Oops…  I accidentally knicked the power cord rendering it complete trash.  How embarassing!  Just when I thought I was crossing the labor line that separates men and women, I fall flat on my face! 

When it comes to divvying up household responsibilities, it looks like hedge trimming will stay on my husband’s to-do list.  Maybe I’ll try taking out the garbage?
