My husband says that he can't multi task. He says he concentrates 100% on any given task as a result, and that women concentrate, say 50% on each task (when there's two tasks involved)! What he fails to grasp is that our 50% is way above a man's 100%!
So not only do we accomplish more, but what we accomplish is of better quality!! :wink: :wink: :wink:

We only have large handbags to keep our husbands junk in,A touch, screwdriver, and large hankie .The touch so he can see what he's doing in the dark ,when he's changing the tyre .the screwdriver is to prise it off if it gets stuck,and the large hankie is to mop his brow. :lol: :lol:
