Not bound by logic
Wednesday 
in the early morning 
Mystie
I told her she must put aside her training in logic and learn how to stand firm like a woman, apart from all logical attacks from male family members. If you try to outsmart them or out argue them you are doomed before you start. God has made you a woman and you are not bound by the rules of logic. You must not try to earn your authority over the male. Never let them think you are vying for authority. Wear you authority like a string of pearls, an aromatic elixir, a new pair of shoes.

When he argues, look him in the eye and say, “phooey.”
The ability to defy logic is the only way we can keep the female species alive long enough to produce more males.

Ummm. I don’t get it, unless the point was to not make sense.
I did leave off the set-up, which was about the futility of arguing and debating with school-age sons.
Although, perhaps it doesn’t make sense to you because you’re male and it’s not logical. :)
Ooooh… that’s a good one! Geoff’s response makes it even better.
I’ll have to start practicing “Phooey” now so that I’m in good form when my sons get to school age (actually, my oldest is already starting to argue with me, and I have to keep pulling back and remembering that this is not a discussion).
