TIME TO GROW UP, FELLAS!

The Woman's Own columnist has her say on men, 'chocolate' and kids' education

Men really are stuck in their teens

It's easy to say the wrong thing these days, isn’t it? Even ‘hello’ can be challenging if you say it in the ‘wrong way’ to the wrong person. Getting into trouble at work is even easier. The only way out of it is to take a vow of nun-like silence and wear sunglasses, so that withering eye-roll you've developed when dealing with eejits is also hidden.

As I talk for a living, I can’t do this. So, I somehow manage to upset someone on a daily basis. Especially members of the less-robust sex. Or men as I like to call them. I usually call them a lot worse which is why I’m constantly on the naughty step.

But ladies, you know what I’m talking about, don’t you? As much as we love our menfolk, they are born with a gift that makes them incredibly exasperating - the Genetically Irritating Twit quirk. Or GIT for short.

Now after years of a social experiment involving studying a prime example - let's call this marriage for argument’s sake - I came up with the scientifically sound conclusion that men never grow up. Like literally never. It doesn’t matter if they're the managing director or the post boy, the GIT looms large. Peter Pan isn’t a work of fiction and Tinker Bell ended up on Prozac. Trust me on this.
