What's So Simple About Simple?

Whether it comes to crafts, renovating, or just plain fixer-uppers, I am nowhere to be seen. I've searched for a long time, but my woodworking abilities are nowhere to be found.

 

I always make things worse when I try to mend them. My strength is not in fixing.

 

We have another scenario on the other side of the parsonage.

 

Something cannot be broken if the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage can mend it. No matter what it is, she can always think out a solution quickly.

 

She frequently spends time on the computer looking up certain projects and learning what has to be done to improve and launch them.

She has certainly saved me money by repairing things that would have cost a lot to have fixed by a professional facility, but this is just between you and me. I always show my wife first if there is a problem with my car. I have yet to discover a problem with my car that she can't fix.

 

My car once had a loose fender that was on the verge of breaking. After giving it some thought, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage went inside to retrieve a large paperclip, took it outside, and mended the fender. Five years have passed, yet the problem has not changed.

She commented after fixing it, "Oh, that was easy-peasy."

 

Every time she fixes something, she says that and smiles as she turns to face me.

 

I didn't give it much thought the first 100 times she said it. But lately, I've been attempting to understand exactly what she means when she says "easy peasy."

I am aware that I could ask her to explain it to me as I sit down. When I first attempted it, she simply gave me a smirk and remarked, "You foolish guy, you. You fully comprehend what I mean."

 

Despite the fact that I had no idea what she was talking about, I smiled back at her.

 

I might be able to comprehend my wife a little better if I ever learn what the term "easy-peasy" refers to. Everything she sets her hands to, she finds to be simple and straightforward.

 

For us, this has been a fantastic partnership. She can repair anything that I can break. I simply cannot damage anything that she is unable to repair. Life has become relatively simple as a result.

 

She occasionally asks me to come to help her with anything. Naturally, it is my responsibility to move something that she is unable to move. And then she always says, "Oh, that was easy-peasy, wasn't it," after I've worked myself into a sweat and moved that thing.
