Driving Lessons

If anything valuable came from the Mars Venus discovery about men and women, it’s the validation that we women are living with aliens, and have to master the art of coping with male idiosyncrasies like: selective hearing; superior driving skills; an inability to program a scheduler with birthdays and anniversaries while filling it full of football games, hockey playoffs, or beer nights with the boys; the “I’ll die before asking directions” mantra; or the “don’t worry, I’ll get it done today” syndrome that affects all households chores and lasts for years per symptom. The good news is that we are not alone. Please use this blog to "express yourself" and share comic relief. Enjoy the following male moment on "driving lessons", something I am sure you can all relate to!

Driving Moments

THIS is how you drive a car, dear

With the cold weather, our very steep driveway is full of ice and hard to get out of. One particularly cold morning, my husband John tried for about 45 minutes to get our car out of the driveway and to no avail. My advice was to just gun it as fast as he could up the hill, as it was my car and knew it much better than he did. "You don't do it that way" was his response as he kept doing it his way over and over and over again, just to slide down the driveway. After about 40 slow repetitive attempts, and almost one hour later, he put salt on the driveway; didn't work. He dug under about a foot of snow to get sand out of frozen sandbox; didn't work. Again, I suggested the fast approach as this was my car and I had some experience driving it. He decided to prove his point once and for all that fast won't work! "Okay. I will do it just to show you that it won't work." He gunned it and was out the drive way first attempt! His comment. "Close the garage door."

Looking forward to your "driving stories."
