The “little things”

As you might know, the head of a
company survived 9/11 because his son started
kindergarten.

Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.

One woman was late because her alarm clock didn’t go off on time.

One was late because of being stuck on
the NJ Turnpike because of an auto accident.

One of them missed his bus.

One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
time to change.

One’s car wouldn’t start.

One went back to answer the telephone.

One had a child that dawdled and didn’t get ready as soon as he should have.

One couldn’t get a taxi.

The one that struck me was the man
who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
took the various means to get to work
but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot.

He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.

That is why he is alive today.

Now, when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing
telephone…

all the little things that annoy me,
I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.

Next time your morning seems to be going wrong:
the children are slow getting dressed,
you can’t seem to find the car keys,
you hit every traffic light, don’t get mad or
frustrated:

God is at work watching over you.

May God continue to bless you with all those annoying little things and may you remember their
possible purpose.

The Guys’ Rules

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all
down. Finally, the guys’ side of the story.

We always hear “the rules” from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! Please note… these are all
numbered “1″ ON PURPOSE!

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You’re a big girl. If it’s up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don’t hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It’s like the full moon or the
changing of the tides. Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never
going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this
one: Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to
almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help
solving it. That’s what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.

1. If you won’t dress like the Victoria’s Secret
girls, don’t expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have
to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows
default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have
no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say nothing,”
we will act like nothing’s wrong. We know you are
lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don’t want an answer
to, expect an answer you don’t want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.. Really.

1. Don’t ask us what we’re thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as sports, the weather, or hunting.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have
to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don’t mind that? It’s like camping.
