A few months ago...
We were in the car on the way to rehab, when I mentioned something about (boyfriend) Joe graduating and that he was student teaching...
"I always admired male teachers...THEY really know how to handle the classroom"
Uh... I know a lot of authoritative female teachers.
"Really? I don't know... I think men have...that...that presence. They seem to fair better than the women."
Then I decided to just stop talking for the remainder of the ride. Until Mr. Pitt broke the lengthy silence by saying (he knew that Andy and I moved into the Ferndale house)...
"So, I take it YOU cooked supper last night?"
Why? Because I'm a woman?
"Yeah! I mean, women have that talent..."
And then we had a fantastic discussion about "where people belong" in the world and what jobs men and women should have. It was super fun...
