Why it would be perfectly fine with me if my daughter turns out to be a lesbian

Bryan was gone at the gym this afternoon, which is typically no big deal, except that he was gone for FOUR HOURS. (Apparently GI Joes' Going-Out-Of-Business sale caught his eye on the way home. Again, whatever.) I called him and asked him to stop at the store, please, and pick up some broccoli.

45 minutes later, he walked in the back door carrying...nothing.

After a quick squinty-eyed glare, he caught on and walked right back out the door. I called after him to get some eggs.

20 minutes later, this is what he returned with:

Broccoli
Zucchini
2 bags of licorice
Multiple packages of batteries (?)
NO EGGS

This is the point where I began lecturing Zoey on how much better off in life she will be if she lands herself a nice wife, because women tend to have attention spans longer than those of gnats, and also tend to not get so distracted by the 2-for-1 licorice display that they forget one of the TWO items they are supposed to be picking up at the store.

Oh...I can so relate. And this not only applys to shopping trips, but basically to all areas of life!:)

Another reason to be okay with your duaghter becoming a lesbian...she can't get "knocked up" in highschool by a member of the sword fighting club. Not sure what their real name is, but I'm sure you get what I'm talking about.

Dude, I think we should all invest in some wives. Plus, Zoey's coming out party would be SO shabby chic.

My husband and I are all for lesbianism! Cecilia is already showing signs of going down that road...wanting to marry her girlfriends.
