SO I SAW THIS LIST OF Father’s Day gift suggestions and while there’s nothing wrong with it, I wonder if anyone would post a list of Mother’s Day gift suggestions that consisted of things like vacuum cleaners, stoves, and mops. But tools and grills for dads are different, somehow. Why?

UPDATE: CaltechGirl says I’ve got the question backward: Why aren’t people giving moms cool power tools? Good question!

Of course, I’d have liked a new stove — instead I bought one for myself. And vacuum cleaners can be cool, especially the hovercraft kind. Heck, even some mops.
