I am woman, so of course I can multitask!!! I can sew and watch TV at the same time (well, stealing glances and keeping both ears open counts, right?) I am a fast sewer...but my DH cannot multitask at all, so if he's in the room with me, we have to turn on the music, or he gets so distracted by the TV he cannot sew. He just sits and watches TV!! Men!! :-)
