Mom

  Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, "I'm tired and it's getting
  late.  I think I'll go to bed."

She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches;
  rinsed out the popcorn bowls; took meat out of the freezer for supper
 the  following evening; checked the cereal box levels; filled the sugar
 container; put spoons and bowls on the table; and started the coffee
 pot for  brewing the next morning.
 She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into
 the  wash, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button.  She picked up the
 game   pieces left on the table and put the telephone book back into the
 drawer.

She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to
 dry.  She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom.

 She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out
 some cash for the field trip, and pulled a textbook out from hiding under
 the chair.  She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the
  envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store.  She put both
 near her purse.
  Mom then washed her face, put on moisturizer, brushed and flossed her
 teeth and trimmed her nails.

  Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed."

  I'm on my way," she said.  She put some water into the dogs dish and
  called the cat in, then made sure the doors were locked.  She looked in
 on   each of the kids and turned out a bedside lamp, hung up a shirt , threw
 some   dirty socks in the hamper, and had a brief conversation with one still
 up doing homework.
 In her own room, she set the alarm, laid out clothing for the next day,
  straightened up the shoe rack.  She added three things to her list of
 things to do for tomorrow.

  About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in
  particular, "I'm going to bed"

  And he did, without another thought.
  Anything extraordinary here?  Wonder why women live longer?
