Gender stereotypes

We had Julie's family over for a belated birthday party for Grandma Jackie.  I built a fire in our outdoor fireplace, and then for a lot of the day, Matt and Jason and I sat out there and tended it.  Fires are very dangerous, you see, so we had to sit in front of it to make sure it didn't get out of control.  We also took charge of adding more logs when it died down.  And if not for us, then what would have happened to all that beer?

At one point (I think it was while Lyla and Rowan napped), I entered the house to find the women-folk huddled around my laptop and watching Lyla's last dance recital. 

I don't think I've ever switched directions so quickly.
