I thought the devil made us do it.
My father in law, a very wise man, who also shared my birthday, told me like it is...
He said men lie so we dont have to do things...like say he was asked to fold a towel, he would do it wrong so MIL would never ask again, same for dishes, homework with kids, anything.
It sort of makes sense but since I am in-tune with Dad in laws philosophy my husband does not get away with much. : )
Unless of course I let him.
