Andrea just had a post on Facebook today about how it's nice to have a guy around to open jars and things like that when you can't/don't feel like/are too lazy to do yourself. I know I have enjoyed this comfort before and it's nice. And like Andrea said, they enjoy it too b/c it also shows off their manliness to a lady.
Well, let me tell you another time it's good to have a man around. When you have a mouse in your house. He chased it, looked in the closet for it (all while I'm screaming and terrified that it's IN MY HOUSE), carried the traps in the store, set the traps, checked them everyday, refilled them (a.ka. lied to me when the mouse ATE the bait but didn't get caught in the traps, but did it to save my sanity), and then came the glorious payback for the man....
Last night, we arrived home from the beach. Tired. It was about 8:15pm so dark outside and we had a car full of stuff to unload plus a kayak to take down off the car. He takes the first load in, gentlemanly enough to go first when it's dark and turn the light on outside while I'm untying the kayak. He's gone for a few mintues and I'm wondering what he's doing, thinking he must have had to go to the bathroom (long drive), when VICTORIOUSLY, he comes outside with a plastic bag and just stands there, holding the bag (with the trap inside it) up in the air! He had CAUGHT THE MOUSE. :) He just looked so proud.
I didn't have to see it, touch it, anything. That is when it's nice to have a man around.

That is the best story I've read all day. I am going to flaunt it for you just like Jared did that mouse.
