Man's Day

A few evenings ago, I ventured out of the church office for a nice, “gourmet” dinner in 4S Ranch with Charlotte and two male friends from church. Out of courtesy (and for the protection of these male individuals), I have chosen to keep them anonymous. For the sake of my story, I will refer to these men as Schmal and Fitz.

So, as I was saying . . . I went to dinner at Gourmet China with Charlotte, Schmal and Fitz. During our dinner we somehow got on the topic of Valentine’s Day. Both Schmal and Fitz expressed their feelings on the topic – they claimed that it was a stupid holiday created only for women because the men obviously got nothing out of the celebration. They also commented that they refuse to observe this holiday in the future … no chocolates, no flowers, nothing for their wives! After making such bold statements, they then went on to say that America needed to create a holiday just for men . . . a holiday in which the women stayed home to clean and cook dinner for the men.

I reminded them that women do these things everyday.
And as if suddenly a light bulb went off in their heads – they turned and looked at each other, wide-eyed, and exclaimed in unison, “Every day is man’s day!” And though I would like to prove otherwise, it is true … everyday IS man’s day.
