Men and Women

The difference between men and women is this:

When a woman drops her children off at school in the morning, she will remain sitting in her car, stolidly parked in from of all the other cars waiting to drop off all the other children, while her own trundle up the curb and head down the walk toward the doors; and when they are within two arm lengths or so or gripping the actual door handle, the woman will at last look in both side mirrors, the rear view mirror, fix a wisp of hair from her brow, and then suddenly speed away out of the school lot in the most hurried and reckless manner.

Now the man does it this way: He pulls up to the school lot, somewhere near the curb if possible--or if inconvenient, then simply in the middle of the street--shoos his kids out the door as if they had been something he'd just spilled on his clean pant legs, and then heads straightaway to his next destination as soon as the last little shoe touches the pavement--which is, he assumes, sufficient evidence for their safe arrival in the school building itself.

Herein we observe that the woman is concerned about her children and her hair, and nothing else; whereas the man is concerned about nothing other than getting to where he is going.
