The mutterings started in the bathroom before progressing to the kitchen…I can’t believe this, how are you suppose to open this, are you sure you got the right one….??? Then I heard my gadget drawer open and the rattling of stuff as he looked for the right tool. After I heard, “this is absolutely ridiculous” I decided that maybe it was time for me to investigate as to what was going on in my kitchen. There he was with my 8″ long, 2″ wide chopping knife trying to open a package of razor blades!!! A quick assesment of the situation looked totally dangerous but I knew it probably would not be a good idea to express that warning so I reminded him to be careful and retreated to another room. (I considered going back and taking a picture but he wasn’t properly attired as he was trying to shave after taking a shower).
This evening (we were gone all day) I went to the kitchen to fix sandwiches and I kept finding bits of hard broken plastic on the counter and even stepped on a peice on the floor with my bare feet. I could not figure out what it was. I asked Gene, “what did you break in the kitchen”? He didn’t break anything-it was the packaging on the razor blades! Not only are the packages child- proof, they are almost man-proof. He’s right, absolutely ridiculous! Maybe they need to start including a tool and an instruction sheet with each package. But then, what self-respecting man would read the instructions? At least it would give us gals the satisfaction of saying, “did you read the instructions”?

This time (and I hate to admit it) but, I understand how he felt. Nearly everything I try to open has to be stabbed or beaten first.
