Loyal and longtime readers will recall that from June 2010 through December 2011, Friday meant answer time at the ManFAQ<\/a>.\u00a0 Now, by popular demand (and as part of my parole agreement), I will once again resume my manly mantle as the Sage of the Sexes, continuing to help demystify the more malodorous gender for those of the gentler.\u00a0 Friday will once again mean answer time, as we add to the list of questions women have asked about men over the years, and I will answer them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a slight shift during the year, just to keep us all on our toes, I’ll also be fielding questions from new and young parents about their kids – a KidFAQ, if you will.\u00a0 Since the three lunatic children here are getting to be older kids, I’m happy to pass on what I’ve learned as a parent so that others can learn from our stellar examples and brilliant mistakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We’ll kick off the year with the ManFAQ.\u00a0 Actual questions, posed by real women, and answered by a REAL man. What could go wrong?<\/p>\n

Question:\u00a0<\/strong> Why do you sit on that cold, hard toilet when you could just wait for the magic moment?<\/em><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong>\u00a0 Let me tell you a story.\u00a0 Once upon a time, there was a little turtle.\u00a0 He was\u00a0happy in his shell, but he was very shy.\u00a0 No, I’m kidding.\u00a0\u00a0 Sometimes there’s a sense that without passing some time, he won’t be passing anything else, if you get my drift.\u00a0\u00a0 Also, his mom used to leave him on that thing for hours, so the idea that he can take as long as he likes to take the pet turtle for a walk seems natural to him.<\/p>\n

Sometimes this is an escape from all the other errands, and he’s taking 20 minutes out of his busy schedule to drop the kids off at the pool, well, hey, a Reader’s Digest!\u00a0 Sometimes comes in with a mission, but\u00a0gets distracted by the reading material – particularly if you leave the Victoria’s Secret catalogue in there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Also, he’s living with you, and it’s dollars to doughnuts that HE’S not the one doing the laundry.\u00a0 Am I right?\u00a0 He knows what happens if he waits<\/a> too long for that magic moment, and he doesn’t want to get yelled at again!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Or maybe he’s just in there washing his hands.\u00a0 Honest!<\/p>\n
