For me it all started here: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Vintage-Fisher-Price-Cassette-Tape-De...

I used to walk around my neighborhood at 8 years old listing to Lisense to Ill. Fishing pole in one hand and my little boombox in the other, blaring "Paul Revere".

I love to picture an 8 year old jamming "Girls" on his Fisher Price tape player. "Girls to do da laundry. Girls to clean up my room..." I hope for your wife's sake it didn't leave too much of an impression on you!

When I was in 3rd grade I was kicked out of the classroom for singing that song. I really didn't pay much attention to the meaning of the lyrics. My wife and I exist on equal grounds regarding all things domestic. I do my own laundry and dishes .... and in the bathroom.
