As if You Needed an Excuse to Make Dinner
I was informed this morning, at my women's gym, that today is not only the beginning of Dia De Los Muertos celebrations, but that it's also National Men Make Dinner Day. You can even send e-greetings to celebrate.
Not to spoil the fun or anything, but um, what? As if there needs to be a national day designating it as one in which men should take the reins, or rather cooking utensils, in the kitchen. Doesn't that mean that women are expected to prepare dinner the rest of the year? I find the day rather insulting, and can't understand why anyone wouldn't. But, I am also perplexed by things such as Bush's second term and why Jello desserts were ever popular.
A rename suggestion: National People Who Don't Usually Cook Dinner Make Dinner Day. It's catchy, right?
