“Is that it?” she said.
“Yea, what d’ya think?” I said.
“It’s a dump!” she said.
“No, it’s not, it’s got potency”, I said.
“If you mean potential, you’re wrong”, she said.
“But you like DIY”, I said.
“A splash of paint, a picture hook or a squirt of WD40, maybe”, she said.
“All you need to do is straighten the tiles, replace the windows, repoint the brickwork and do a few other odd jobs”, I said.
“And you?”, she said.
“I’ll plug in the TV, boil a kettle, make you a cup of coffee…where are you going…come back… sweetheart….”

Sounds like a fair division of labour
It’s fine with me!
Lol, Keith….”potential versys potency”…I never connected those two words until this story…Hehehe.
Nor had I, Suzette!
Ha! Love it Keith
I’m pleased, thanks, Di!
Fixer-upper )
…of the highest order!
Now there is someone who does not have an imagination to develop a project or appreciate team work. Loved the humour, it is one way of getting out of long impossible jobs.
I’d like to say it worked for me, but sadly I can’t!
It sounds like he’s the fixer upper project here. LOL
Absolutely, Mimi!
Fun play on words.
Thanks, Dawn!
Haha! Straighten the windows vs making coffee. No wonder they walked away!
I thought mine was a valuable contribution!
Of course, who can deny that.
Apparantly there are some people who like to do this sort of work. Not for me, I’m running!
You and me too, Iain!
Always dream big, I like it. Well done, Keith.
Always! Cheers, Mason.
Seems simple enough to me … she said 😊
Quite a lot more was said when he caught up with her I suspect!
I suspect you’re right!
And the moral is, he should not say anything to anyone. But then, in his case, it would not have mattered much.
The place has low potential equivalent to his potency. 🙂
Absolutely so, Bill.
My kind of guy!
Mine too, Danny!
Dear Keith,
I’m afraid “sweetheart” won’t cut it in this case. He’s completely clueless. I’d say he’s getting what he deserves.
Shalom,

Too right, Rochelle! I don’t think they have much of future together.
When you marry ’em, they claim they can do all those skills, but after a few years mine won’t even change a flat tyre.
That’s why I learned to cook and sew buttons on! Cheers, Russell.
I love the humor in this piece after many other depressing stories, including mine.
Thanks, Alicia. I had a feeling the picture would lead to some deep and dark pieces, hence my attempt at a bit of comedy!
LOL! Someone had something a tad potent, before suggesting this particular division of labor, I think … 😉
Quite possibly, Na’ama! He’s going to need something more potent to recover from what just occur ed!
Truth, that! LOL!
I love it!!
I would walk away too.
How could you? Only kidding!!!
LOL!
Not what I’d call a fair division of labour!
Summed up perfectly!
it might work if it’s the other way around – he doing all the work while she’s relaxing on the couch waiting for him to get done. 🙂
…assuming she can drag the couch inside!
Great take – I don’t blame her I would be out of there too! 🙂
Oh no, not you as well!
Yes ‘fraid so 🙂
Good thing he’s the one holding the hammer! Men *are* from Mars! What a fun story, Keith.
Haha, that’s what they say…! Cheers, Lisa.
lol and women are just b*tsh*t crazy. Cheers, Keith!
😀
Yeah, I’d be walking away, too. Well done.
Oh no, not you as well!
Loved the dialogue, Keith! I don’t think a fixer-upper is in his future.
I’m sure you’re right, Brenda!
