Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better

I can do anything better than you! Remember that little ditty from Annie Get Your Gun (or tons of random commercials)? Well, I sang it last night for about two hours as I assembled a 3-in-1 file cabinet table thingy. I argued with a friend later that he could have put it together in half the time, but I was so proud that I did it myself, that I completely disagreed and truly believe it would have taken just about anyone two full hours while watching the last two episodes of True Blood.

There are handy girls out there. Doing it ourselves is just not usually our first choice. Men, in many cases, we can definitely assemble that IKEA furniture or program the VCR, Cable and Surround Sound onto one remote. We just choose to have someone else do it.

The point is, that it's nice to have the option of having someone else around to do it. Putting things together or dealing with 20+ pages of directions sounds very empowering, but it's also nice to have someone around to fight with while assembling it.

Men, disagree with me all you want on this, but even if it takes a little bit longer, and even if we're not sure about the difference between a Phillips head and an Allen wrench, anything you can do, we can do!
