On the midway last week I saw a message on a customer's t-shirt and it got me thinking. She was a mother, probably 30-ish, and was accompanied by her husband and two young children. Her t-shirt read, in extra-large print, "I have the P@#$%Y, I make the RULES".
When I told Jim about it later, he commented dryly, "I wonder if she wears that shirt to parent-teacher conferences at her kids school?" Hmmm, perhaps, but I think the larger issue here is: Is this the universal truth it appears to be at face value? Because if so, it's a game changer.
When I think of the hours of consultations with girlfriends, psychologists, and my mother about the men in our lives, and for what? We make the rules!
And men: how simple your life can be! SHE makes the rules!
Really, it's a moment of great clarity. And I realize it's and updated and more straight-forward version of "Happy Wife, happy life" or "If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." But the new and improved slogan cuts right to the heart of it, and I predict could stop an argument before it starts!
