The Idiot Within
I've finally figured all this out, deep inside the most intelligent man is an idiot screaming to get out and be free. Case in point, just in the event a man should stumble across this and become offended. Don't most men hide when it comes to chores? I know Rainbird does; he'll hide in the basement. Have I ever posted about our basement? Well, it's been a work in progress since we moved into our house. A completely unfinished space, well nearly completely, he did carve out a small area for a home office. The latest bug he's got up his ass is for a bar/tasting area and wine cellar...whooo boy! I know my nipples are hard just thinking about it! He went out, brazenly bought all this drywall, wood, nails, and whatever else he needed, setting to work one weekend last year. He started framing the room, then put up the drywall, sanded and painted a week ago. He's got big plans for that room...Big plans I'll tell yah.
Now, as I said in the beginning, he's an idiot. Let me explain further so everyone may understand, he goes down into the basement, with Pissboy to do some work. Pissboy doesn't really want to be there, he'd much rather be playing some Super Mario Brother's piece of shit or drawing pictures. Anyway, as I said, Pissboy doesn't want to be there, so he plays stupid. Rainbird will ask for a hammer, and Pissboy will disappear for an hour looking for one, or so Rainbird could be led to believe if he wasn't the same fucking way about taking out the garbage on Wednesday nights. He's thoroughly educated our sons to be idiots. To play stupid when it suits their purpose and now I'm seeing this in Fredo too, when I go over his flash cards, he pretends not to know any letters (yes we're still working on fucking letters but he knows numbers especially the number 3 since that's a bad number). He will look at the letter "F" the first letter in his name (Letter altered to make point) and say he doesn't know even though he wrote a hundred of them all over the Toys R Us book just a month and a half ago. Don't get me started.
You might be mistaken to think that Rainbird is the smart one in the group, but he's just as idiotic as the other boys in this house. He's spending G-d knows how much money to build a room down there that will be a tasting room and wine cellar, but how often will it ever be used? I'm guessing about as often as the $7000 hot tub in the back yard that he never asked if he could have, just went out and purchased one day on a whim. He uses that about once a month if he's lucky during the winter, spring and fall months, twice a month in the summer time.

You hit the nail on the head.
You've been in that house what, about 2 years now? I've been hearing about the great plans for our basement for 10 years now. We're even collecting stuff for that magical day when all our dreams come true and the freaking thing is done.
It's the male idiot gene. Hereditary through each generation and consistent regardless of race.
sorry to laugh, it's some how cool for me to se you swear...lol..
I also sooooooooooo agree with you !
Love ya,
Paula
