When men and women hit the point in their life called "mid life" they express themselves in different ways. We learned in class that men go out and buy the fancy sport cars and women have the plastic surgery done, this is if they can afford it. It's funny because a week after we learned about this in class my dad went out and bought a Harley that he has always wanted and I asked my mom why now? She told me that he has always wanted one and if she didn't let him do it now he would be too old and he had the money from recently selling his business. This makes sense that he purchased it after both of his children have moved away for college and he doesn't have to hull us around because we all know there isn't much room on a motorcycle except for him, which I think was his plan.
