Things I've Learned

Yesterday, This Fish posted a list of the "10 things i have learned from relationships with men", here's mine:

1. They wish they were telling the truth almost as much as we do.
2. How to properly handle CDs.
3. Not all boys from Texas can drive.
4. If a man tells you "You're not that nurturing", what he really wants is his mommy.
5. Mel Brooks' humor does not translate well for everyone.
6. By comparison, I am an excellent driver.
7. Italians really can't speak without their hands.
8. Roses are not my favorite flower.
9. Some men like romantic comedies AND big explosions.
10. I can do it myself, but it's nice to have help.

In making the list I had to leave several important things off because I had learned them on my own. That was a great feeling, but now I need a new list:

1. How to fix the door latch with a nail and a ponytail holder.
2. How to drink beer and like it...a lot.
3. I am not crazy, but I am flawed.
4. How to accept my flaws while still trying to improve myself.
5. How to parallel park.
6. I am beautiful.
7. How to eat with chopsticks.
8. I am a woman.
9. I am a girl.
10. Time spent with the girls eases just about any situation.
