Equality Day

Did you know that today was (gender) equality Monday? Did you know that such a day even exists? Who took down the trash today? Who cooked? Who comforted the ill child in the night? Who bought supplies for the kids? Here, in our Berlin home, we have been once again been model parents in burden-sharing all tasks. But who earned all the money and paid the bills today? Who stayed at home because of an ill child? There's a long way to go for equality. The small things are key. The big things are still locked locks that require bigger, much bigger keys.
