Jimmy took Hayden and Landon to visit Granna and Pawpaw for several days. They are planning to do boy activities: fishing, golfing, eating hamburgers, never fixing their hair and only wearing caps. (I did iron all their clothes before I packed them so they won't look like abandoned orphans.)
My mother is on her way here to spend several days. We are planning on playing "Here Comes the Baby" and doing girl activities: eating soup and salad, buying baby supplies, dressing nicely, and taking my sister Gina on a birthday lunch.
My father and his friend Benny are coming to my house long enough to drop my mother off. I explained the "Girls Only" rule and they have made immediate plans to return home. They want nothing to do with soup and salad, and definitely have an aversion to shedding those caps and shopping for pink. They will hurry back home to work on cars with my brother.
For a few days everyone will be happy, being allowed to do just what they are wired to do.
