Cathy: TO DAD, fixer of the squeaky doors, clogged drains, drippy faucets, sticky windows, wobbly drawers, wiggly handles, bent hinges, worn hoses, blown fuses and bad plugs!! Dad sees something that needs attention... Moves in with all his tools... and doesn't stop attacking until the problem's fixed! Irving: Why? HA, HA! I just text the repair guy! Dad: Come with me, son. You seem to have a few loose screws there. Irving: HELP ME!! Cathy: No need, honey. You're with the best!

Way to go, dad!

“Dad” is just like my husband. Come to think of it I’m pretty handy with tools myself, so is our oldest daughter (she completely renovated her kitchen by herself, including removing/refinishing & replacing all her cabinets! and removing all the flooring, replacing the subfloor and putting in new flooring!). Our son is learning, slowly, and he’s the oldest, 33 years old. Some men just don’t have the knack!

That’ll teach you to keep your mouth shut Irving. Though now I’m jealous that you don’t have a screw loose any more.

Irving is too stupid to be practical. Cathy’s dad has a chalange on his hands.

Fathers-in-law have unique leverage. I know mine set me straight pretty well - although if he’d lived another 20 years he could have done a lot more, since he had had built a house from scratch including the foundation, plumbing and electricity.
If I hadn’t been married to his daughter, though, I doubt I ever would have paid the attention (and paid the dues!) it took to learn at his knee, so to speak. [“Now squeeze yourself through that mud under there and find the hole to ram that bolt up through …”]
