At first I was nonplussed and then irritated by the condescending menposts---recognized a couple of names-- And suddenly it struck me as very funny.
I don't know if you have kids or not, but I bet lots of us do---and this is reminiscent of trying to go to meetings, lunches, shopping, whatever, hauling along a two year old. "Mommmmmmmyyyyyyyy---look at meeeeeeee!"
Your advice is exactly right. Women are trained at ignoring distractions. We are masters of the art! PhD's in Focus! (Phocus?) Unless we see bones protruding through flesh or arteries gushing, we are unimpressed. We can listen to several different conversations at once and carry out five activities at the same time. We've had teens look us in the eye and say-"I hate you!" with passion and we still calmly took the car keys.

And another reason we can ignore these little distractions is----these guys aren't even our kids.

HELE had great earnings today--17th Q in a row---for anyone looking for longterm investments at a nice pace---it sometimes drops back after earnings ---I plan to add if it hits 20 again.
