Funny conversations with men.....

We were camping this weekend. We belong to a camping club and we go out monthly if we can with the group. It is a mixed bunch. While most of the members are over 50 and some retired, there are a few of us younger types with children. Specifically one family that has boys the same ages as mine, and are fairly close to my and BD's ages. So we two moms were sitting on the patio outside her trailer along with her husband and another club member talking, and another camper came up and started talking with us about nothing in particular. Harmless....right?

He then started complaining about his job. As the two men with us started rolling their eyes about the comments, I led the conversation in this direction:

"So [directed to my gal friend] do you get vacation days? Cause I haven't seen a vacation day in over 4 years"

"No, I don't get vacation time"

"Have you been able to get a sick day from your job? I usually end up taking up the slack when people get sick"

"Me too. No sick days for me."

"No personal days, no comp time, long hours, and little to no credit for what a good job you do."

"Yeah, that sounds like my job too."

To this the naive silly man said "Wow, your jobs suck. I'd quit and find somewhere else to work. What do you do?"

To which we of course smiled and replied at the same time "Stay at home moms."

The conversation took a turn to another topic at that point and he didn't bitch about anything else while he was talking to us. Guess he figured his job wasn't so bad after that little bit of enlightenment.

To all the SAHMs out there

ROCK ON WITH YOUR BAD SELVES!!
