It has to do with the genetics of barring. Males inherit two copies of the white bar/cuckoo gene, and females only one copy. This causes more white on the males, less on the females, even at day one. The effect can be best viewed from above.

DH said he saw a survey asking, if you had to give up your i-pad OR get a divorce…which would it be? An overwhelming majority chose the divorce.

Do you think he made this up?

Who needs an iPad when you have an iPhone. I prefer the convenience of the phone! Otherwise...trust me. I would break it. No problem!

Seriously! Give me 10 minutes!
