Men and ... bobby pins

So I haven't posted in awhile. Being grown-up turns out to be more time consuming than being a child. Sue me.
On my run this evening, I thought of the following "list" of comparisons. I will not say it is mature at all; perhaps I am reverting to my childish self. Only women will relate to this one most likely. Sorry boys...

Why men are like bobby-pins:

1. They are always around until you actually need them.
2. Occasionally you find one in your bed and you can't remember how it got there.
3. The older ones don't work like they're supposed to.
4. They come in all different hair colors: blonde, brown, black.
5. If you fall asleep with them, you wake up with a bad headache and regret.
6. It's okay to share them with your friends, but you want to ask first ... and you don't want to if your friend is dirty...
7. They are good for random household tasks, but again, only if you can find them.
8. They can be replaced but it's easier to just keep track of them.
9. They are really good for running, biking, etc. with.
10. You can find them in most public places like swimming pools, bathrooms, bars etc., but those aren't the ones you want to use.
11. If you dance too crazy you will probably lose them.


Oh the similarities! I think I had a few more on my run- I'll add if I remember. Again, men: sorry you are being compared to hair accessories. Purely comedic. Promise.
