Well... That title alone could get me in some hot water.
Don't worry. I'm not about to get on a soapbox and start declaring who is better than who.
Nope.
God made us different, each special, with different strengths and weaknesses. You know, to compliment each other, not compete.
But, that's not even what I am trying to say.
Last weekend, was the high school banquet. Unlike most schools in America, Morrison doesn't have a prom. They do a banquet.
Like a prom, the girls spend weeks looking for just the perfect dress and the boys dig through their closet looking for that shirt, vest, or jacket they bought for last year's banquet.
Abbi's senior year, several of her friends decided to get ready for banquet at our apartment. Last weekend, Jake's group of friends did the same.
Same objective. Two totally different approaches.
The girls showed up two hours before their expected departure time. The next 120 minutes involved hair curling, hair pinning, hair spraying, and the application of make up. With minutes to spare, they were ready.
The guys on the other hand, showed up and proceeded to play several games of Xbox soccer. Ten minutes before their departure time, they dispersed to different rooms to don the required evening attire.
After a few pictures, as they were walking down the hallway, one smartly dressed teenager suddenly stopped and declared, "I forgot to do my hair."
Never would happen with a group of female high schoolers!
Of course, it only took a few minutes to apply the right amount of moisture to get the desired look.
When we moved to Taiwan six years ago, Jacob was just a sixth grader. How did the time fly by so fast?
