Studly Doright is a capable kind of man. He’s a combination of Mr. Fix-It and MacGyver wrapped up in one nice looking package. Seldom do I find something he doesn’t comprehend how to do. During our nearly 44 years of marriage I’ve only encountered a handful of things that stump my guy, but recently a new one popped up.
Since the pandemic, we’ve been performing personal maintenance tasks that we’ve paid others to do in the past. I’ve been giving myself (awful) pedicures and (even worse) manicures, and I’ve been keeping Studly’s hair trimmed. Studly doesn’t have much hair to trim these days, and by the time I finish shearing him, he has barely enough to notice.
After the last trim I discovered Studly in the bathroom, looking in the big mirror above our sinks and holding my hand mirror behind his head. He was trying to see if I’d cut his hair evenly.
“How do you do this? I can’t see anything,” he said.
“Wouldn’t it be easier if you turned around and used the small mirror to reflect the back of your head into the big mirror?
After several tries he made the magic happen, and I had the satisfaction of briefly knowing how to do something he did not. It’s not as rare an occurrence as a Halley’s Comet’s sighting, but it likely won’t happen again in my lifetime.
Peace, people!

My husband has problems doing this, too! He takes the mirror and starts turning around…. I watch in amazement. Only one time did I contain myself and gently state: “It’s easier if you stand still.” Men and mirrors….who knew?!

It’s just that he can seemingly do anything! Knock out a wall and create a new room? Yep. Take a bucket of parts and build a motorcycle? Yep. Fix dinner out of nothing in under fifteen minutes? No problem. With me it’s like, yes, I can hem a skirt and boil water. That’s it folks.
