Don’t take these lists seriously. But again, maybe you should. 
The point is, as we grow older, our naivety fades away. Real and more substantial things are the focus points. When we grow much older, we expect less and less. As we learned it the hard way that things not achieved as we were younger, would not likely to materialize now. So might as well move on. Like focussing on matters that can be controlled, such as toilet habit and personal grooming. :D

  2. LOL! Reality of life - we have different priorities at different times of our life.

  3. Angeles,

    That is really funny!

    HappySurfer,

    They are kinda so true, aren’t they? To think that I was so foolish, looks, money, social status and the whole smanchy pansy. We are lucky when he lift up the toilet seat once a day! That’s reality.

    Leave the chick flick love to the hollywood, baby. Real life doesn’t work that way.

  4. I had to look at a bald head from the day I met him, so that’s okay.
    Had to live with his snoring from the first time I slept with him, and that was okay.
    He shaves every day. That’s even better.
    He still appreciates the finer things.
    And I still love him, so that’s okay, isn’t it?

  5. The essential and major truth is in jokes.

    So great. Now I know where I stand. Still breathing, be it intermittently.

    Yet where does the part of fixing the roof, taking care of the garbage and disciplining the children come in?

  7. Jientje,

    I think you are an amazing couple. I have told you that many times, and I will tell you that again. :)

    Colson,

    Oh Colson, I am sure you don’t scare children.

    I guess the author of the jokes take those as something men should be doing anyway and they will excel in those, mending broken things and raising children.

    Rima,

    Yes. The list did crack me up.
