(Please note that I’m saying most, not all. If anyone knows of a real life Mr. Rogers, let me know.)

1. Most men do not come home and immediately change into something not only more comfortable, but classy. Like a cardigan and sensible shoes. And he had fun doing it. (Note the toss of the shoes from hand to hand.) He was also ahead of his fashion time. Tie with jeans? Pshhhhh…..

2. Most men don’t hang up all their clothes and put them away when they are changing.

3. Most men are not friends with their entire neighborhoods.

4. Most men do not have the type of imagination that would transport me to a different world each day.

5. Most men don’t care to stare deep into my eyes each and every day and ask, “How are you today?”

6. Most men aren’t as knowledgeable on nearly EVERY subject known to man. Mr. Rogers wanted to teach me something every day, and he did.

7. Most men don’t have an amazing repertoire with the animal kingdom. (Whether puppet animal or real life one.) Did you see how well he took care of those fish EVERY DAY?

8. Most men don’t talk to me like I’m the only person in the room, even though there’s really millions of people potentially watching.

9. Most men won’t sing a song to just say hello or goodbye. He was musically gifted, singing voice and played the piano. *swoon*

10. Most men don’t have the morals that he did. Did you know he was a minister? And that he first got involved with children’s television because he wanted kids to have something encouraging to watch and not have something that would melt their brains.

Damn you Mr. Rogers.
