To the editor:
Man cave: a place where men go to hide. There are various reasons we men choose to have these little places. The “No women allowed” sign on the entrance gives a clue to one of our reasons for claiming our little piece of heaven.
My beautiful little bundle of energy decided she needed to lose a pound or two. She spotted a piece of exercise equipment in my hideout. She asked if she could use it. One look at me and you can tell it doesn’t work, so I tried to use that as a deterrent, but she was determined. Thus my big mistake. I opened the door to my man cave to a woman.
I gave her a quick lesson on how the machine worked. Before she took control of the thing she made a comment on how dusty it was. In the next 30 seconds she spotted a picture on the wall that was hanging crooked, a cobweb on the celling, and a floor that needed the Swiffer.
I can’t undo my folly, but I can warn the men who read this: Don’t weaken. Keep your man cave a man cave.
