How Husbands and Wives Handle Their Eggs
I kid you not. Yesterday, I arrived home from a couple of days of travel (yes, I do work for a living). And this is what I found in our refrigerator:
Gillian had managed to eat a few eggs during my absence. You can see how she picked the eggs from the carton...seemingly randomly...creative genius?
Now if Gillian were to go on a trip and I consumed seven eggs during her journey, this is what she would see upon her return:
You can see how neatly and anally I would pick my eggs...control freak?
Yes folks, women and men handle their eggs differently!

No way!!! I would never randomly select eggs. My carton would look like Pierre's carton – geometric perfection. It’s not wives vs. husbands. My husband's carton would look like Gillian’s (and he’d probably leave the cupboard, drawer, and refrigerator open, and the egg carton on the table).

I'd take Pierre's perfection one step further. Instead of overloading the carton at one end with all 5 eggs, I would spread them evenly along the back row. That way, when I took them out of the fridge the weight would be distributed evenly from left to right. Obviously Pierre is not as anal as he thinks.

Dad: of course you have to find something to nitpick Gillian about...but really, eggs?
Paul: I don't expect any other way for you to handle your eggs. I've seen your house: clean, neat, and not random, weight distributed nicely...oh wait that's just you!
