Good Men

Happy Father's Day everyone!

but most especially to my daddy. Isn't he so handsome? He's also insanely intelligent, and handy, and I love him

Once on the internet, I happened upon a comic which featured an LDS man looking bewildered and describing his experience at an LDS broadcast (for my non LDS readers, the prophet/apostles/other general leaders of the church put on broadcasts for various occasions.) I really wish that  I could find this comic again, because it's much funnier than my attempts to explain it, but I can't. Not even google could help. The man was amazed to hear the speaker tell the congregation how pleased the Lord was with their work, and how much the Lord loved them, etc. He then realized that he had accidentally ended up in the Relief Society (women's) broadcast.

I keep running into the "women are more righteous, compassionate, responsible, or other wise generally better" stereotype. I'm not sure if it's just a Mormon culture thing; it shows up in sitcoms featuring bumbling idiots who would probably be in a ditch somewhere without their smoking hot, intelligent wives constantly bailing them out from their stupidity. After several conversations with my other married friends, I have determined a list of things that our good men are much better at than we are. 

1. Good men forgive much quicker than we do. 
2. Good men are much more willing to drop everything to serve or comfort us
3. Good men are better at looking at the big picture and putting everything in the proper prospective 
4. Good men don't panic nearly as much
5. Good men are not nearly as judgmental, and are never catty 
6. Good men are often more genuinely kind 

Mr. Bacon specifically is much better at gardening, philosophizing, fixing things (not just car things but most things), not complaining, and being a good worker, and I could go on for a while. I'm very grateful to have such a wonderful man by my side and that my children are going to have such a wonderful father.   

Also Mr. Bacon is incredibly handsome, funny, and keeps my life very entertaining
