A barbeque with friends illustrates how differently men and women think.
Before having a few friends around, most women will ask themselves: Is there soap in the bathroom? Are the new towels hanging on the rails? Do those towels match the curtains? Does the house look clean? Are all the pictures hanging straight? Where can I hide that ugly painting my mother in law gave us for Christmas? Did any of the guests who are coming today give me decorative gifts in the past that I should put on display? Should I use those new wine glasses I got at that crafters market? Which cutlery should I use? Which table cloth should I use? Coloured or plain white serviettes? Will anyone notice my new salt and pepper shakers? Will guests like my new dinner service? Doesn't Judy have the same set? Should I rather use one she doesn't have? What outfit can I wear? Do I want to appear TOO casual - I am host after all? What if I over-dress? What will they think of our new patio set? Are those cushions for the patio set comfortable? Maybe I should borrow that set from the neighbours - they did say I could use them? No, what if they ask why they weren't invited to the braai? Would I be able to lie with a straight face and say it's a family function? Don't they know what my family looks like though? Should I set some candles on the table? Which candles should I use? Did I buy enough food? Who are the fussy eaters? Is there enough to eat for dessert? Is there enough ice? Do we have tea, coffee, sugar and sweetener for after dinner? What if people cancel at the last minute? What if they won't leave at a reasonable hour? Can I face my mother in law tomorrow if I have had a late night?
Men will ask themselves: Do we have enough meat and beer?
