Around our house at nighttime, there is a bit of a dilemma that can develop . . . I love to watch NBA basketball games, boxing matches, and other sporting events. Sandy loves old movies . . . and the mushier and girly they are, the better she likes them. We do have several TV’s in the house, but she has a powerful card she gets to play, “Honey, I could go to the bedroom and watch a movie, but I really loved to be in here with you!” Now, tell me how the heck does a man respond to that . . . and she is careful to never over use it; thus, it is always fresh and power-packed.
That very thing happened the other night. The movie she found (a woman has no business holding a remote control . . . there is no good to ever come from it), was Robert Redford and Barbara Streisand in “The Way we Were” . . . Ugh! A tale of a tumultuous relationship between an effusive woman and a reticent man. She loved that movie . . . and as I thought about it the next day, it occurred to me that she never liked Archie and Edith Bunker in “All in the Family” . . . and it that same relationship in a humorous setting without all the mushy stuff.
It Seems to me . . . that the Lord sure made boys and girls differently, and I suppose that is a good thing!
