Men On Pause

Hormones will ignite menopause
So she'll start a fight without cause
She changes her mood
She hates favourite food
And answers to all, "Just because!"

I also learned from experience that childbirth is when they really want to wring their husband's neck! Aloha! Rico

Only a man could describe menopause this way! I wouldn't go near her for a while... Hugs, carolyn

Thank you Janice! I thought it best to alert the men - especially Native Americans - that such things happen! Aloha! Rico

My poor hubby tries to bring me snacks that I used to like, and when I don't want them he says 'But you liked it last week!" and I say 'But I don't TODAY!" This one's a little too close for me-

It wasn't about you, but my mother-in-law; I thought she was bonkers, but my daughter just said it was menopause! Best wishes for a speedy recovery! Aloha! Rico
