Put the wood in there and stack it in the tent"...
Mom says..not my job!
(Dad, who ain't too bright sometimes, told Mom that she stacked all the wood wrong
and he took it all down and did it again.

Mom was ticked cuz her stacking was just fine!
So now she won't stack wood at all!
She went kayaking while grandpa stacked wood!
Yeee-Haw!

I never though of *mauling* logs as "emotionally satisfying"!

Dads ALWAYS mouth off about how the Other Hald does stuff!
Story goes MY Dad took my future Mom out on his sailboat - MANY moons ago ...
Just the two of em - he normally took 3 on board as "crew".
Dad "taught" future Mom how to "steer" with the tiller/rudder - and he went up forward
to tend sails. Mom "didn't do it right" and was so told ...
"OK, CAPTAIN SIR, do it yourself!" (And promptly went below to *sulk* in the cabin!)

She gave in after listening to the "Skipper" whimper & whine about how they'd
NEVER get back to port if he didn't find some HELP somewhere.

After that, Dad was alway a bit "careful" when he "suggested" to Mom there was
another way to do something she was doing.

Wonder if Stuart has "wised up" since the Wood Stacking Incident?
