I'm a MAN and I CAN!!

My daughter and I were coming home from the grocery store today (had to buy items to make a delicious Beef Barley Soup for dinner tonight, as we were crossing the street we see a man in a car at the lights with his shirt off struggling to put his seat belt on. She looks at me and says, "Why do men do that?" I say because they can and she says, "I'm a man and I can." we both laughed then I told her that was my next blog post. She loved it!

This got me to thinking, why do men do such strange, sometimes immature and stupid shit? Do men ever really grow up? No offence men, if I have any male readers, I'm not picking on you (okay, maybe a little), but REALLY!?!? Some shit men do is just crazy!

I'M A MAN AND I CAN should be the male motto! This is where I giggle to myself quietly and shake my head.

For instance, when men act like crazy, teenage something, hormones raging, idiots at a bar when they're with a group of their friends, what's the reason? I'M A MAN AND I CAN! They don't care how old they are, they seem to forget they're now in their late 30's, mid 40's maybe even early 50's. They just DO! They don't think before they do, they just do what ever stupid, crazy shit comes to their heads and it's so much worse when there is a large group of them.

You can't trust them to be good, you have to call and check in on them every few hours not to make sure they're alive, you have to check in on them to make sure everyone around them is still alive and they aren't in jail or a ditch somewhere.

Some men get really stupid and like to cheat. What's the reason? I'M A MAN AND I CAN! Yeah... okay ass. NOT a reason. That's not even an excuse, it's a statement. This time I had to sigh and shake my head.

Other men like to act like they're king of the house, lay around, do nothing, watch TV, feet up, play on their phones, PS4's, whatever and then when they actually do move from their dent in the couch, they're surprised and upset that there's housework to be done! Well honey, if you weren't so busy being LAZY you would have seen the house getting untidy around you! SURPRISE, IT DOESN'T CLEAN ITSELF! And sorry babe, I'm NOT a maid! Why does the man get to lay around as much as they please and the minute a woman sits down, there's a 100 more things to be done? WAIIIIT FOR IT... I'M A MAN AND I CAN! That's right! **WINK, WINK!** 

Well men, wouldn't you LOVE if us women started to act like you men? Went out all night without so much as a phone call to you, lay around all day then be upset there's a mess around us, get us and our friends in shit and not have a care in the world about it, act before thinking, not think at all? Wouldn't you LOVE it?

NO!!! You'd HATE it because we'd be... YOU!

Take Leonardo DiCaprio for example in The Wolf of Wall Street, he was a complete ASS in that movie and why? Because HE'S A MAN AND HE CAN! He didn't care what happened to himself, those around him or even his family. All he cared about was money, sex and too much drugs. WAY TOO MUCH DRUGS! And what happened? HE LOST IT ALL!! WARNING TO YOU MEN!!!

Especially the ones who like drugs far too much, you keep choosing the drugs over your families, you're going to go home one day and have no family left. They'll be long gone and you'll be left alone with your drugs and bad decisions. Not a nice thought. But, YOU'RE A MAN AND YOU CAN!

Have fun with that.
