One of my recent Military Spouse columns has been posted on their website. They changed the final paragraph, but it’s a good change. Click to read Spacially Challenged:
Over the years, I have learned something interesting about myself as a man: I am “spatially challenged.” It’s OK; I’ve accepted it. As a man, I’m not alone. A lot of men are puzzled by interior design. (What does “feng shui” mean, again?) I read somewhere that, because of ancient hunter-gatherer societies in which women gathered foods like herbs, roots, and mushrooms, while men hunted game, women evolved to be more spatially sensitive than men. This is why, when husbands ask their wives where the remote control is (or the peanut butter or the car keys), their wives know.
