“The problem is that American women between the ages of 26-36 years old are broken.”

Overheard at the Water Cooler

- Hmmm...another mommy blog. I mother two wildly adorable children - one is a train-loving 5 year old, the other is a wee 4 months. I quit a secure job to work for myself last winter - who said not to make major life decisions when you're pregnant?! - and so far I haven't driven my family into the poor house. Fortunately, my life partner is a sarcastic, cynical man (SRH) who keeps me laughing through it all. I'm sleep-deprived, hungry, and knee-deep in preschool madness, but it all seems to be working out okay.

"No, the problem is that American men between the ages of 26-30 are BROKE."
i would be highly upset and really ticked off if i were to overhear that. Something cannot be broken if it was never "fixed or correct" in the first place.
-SRH (or at least that is who i will pin this on)
Dustin-
Good point. If we go with the hypothesis that they are indeed broken, it does beg the question of who did the breaking.
Good grief.
lsig-
Oooh, good one. I think that there is strong data - and several recent books out - to support your statement.

I am flattered by your attempts to sow strife in my relationship with SRH. xo

Holy crud, I forgot that you would probably have something to say about this particular post!
I am partial to your violent first answer, but the snip snip may be the better solution. After all, then we avoid the dreaded possibility of EVEN MORE broken women.

Let me first get out of the way that I love your name. Thanks for coming by!
"...we know exactly what we're doing and what we like"
I would only add that apparently, the guy fails to deliver what we like, so he thinks we're the ones who are broken. It's a classic case of blaming the victim.
Well, I would be too upset to say something at the moment, so I'd find him later when he's by himself and probe him for more questions (calmly). He should feel comfortable opening up to me since I'm out of the 26-36 age range. You know, I am very good at asking stupid, sexist, even abusive men probing questions (hint: years of "paid" experience). After all, this encounter may end up being very therapeutic where he'd find out that he was indeed the one that's broken....

You really had me stumped there for a minute! But I figured out who you are, and I will say that, yes, you would have him in the corner eating out of the palm of your hand in about .5 seconds.
