Stereotyping

A few days ago one of our dogs ate a little too fast, and ended up having to spit some of the food out on the living room floor. As soon as I noticed it, I walked over and cleaned it up with some spray and paper towels. When I finished and returned to sit watching television next to my wife, who happens to be Japanese, she looked at me like I had just stepped out of a space ship.

I always thought that American men avoided any type of housekeeping. It turns out that Japanese men are much, much worse. In terms of domestic chores and sharing the household/family burdens, they spend less that one quarter of the time spent my their American counterparts.
