Super silly

Would a woman have delayed school the morning after the Super Bowl?

Seriously. So they delayed the start of school in Pittsburgh to somehow honor the late night partying of parents and presumably children, in celebration of the win the Steelers barely stole from Arizona in the Super Bowl? Are you joking me? This has to be an act of male silliness that ranks right up there with bodily function jokes in movies.

As all women know, the whole Super Bowl phenomenon is just another reason Womenzwerk has to be done. The pre-game grocery buying, the cooking, the preparatory house straightening and the late Sunday night clean up are all led by the women. Without us, there couldn't be any significant Super Bowl gathering and the men all know it. And we get up and go to work on time, regardless of how tired we are the next day.

As women, we recognize that even if our team wins and we stay up late and celebrate, our young children need to be in bed and anyone old enough to stay up is responsible enough to get up and function on Monday morning. I can't imagine that it was a woman who would condone the slippery slope of delaying the school day for something as frivolous as celebrating a football victory.

In this world where lots of things don't make sense, it is Womenzwerk to bring some sanity to our daily responsibilities, especially for our children. What example are we setting if we create excuses to blow off work and responsibility? What lessons are we teaching about accountability? Who called the delay of game on Monday morning? I have no doubt it was men.

So, what do you think? Was delaying school the day after the Super Bowl a bad or a good idea?
