The Fix it Girls
The girls often work on a project together. This week they undertook a job that surprised me. When the carpet was installed in the two closets that parallel the entrance to the master bathroom from the bedroom, the installers removed the accordion style doors. When they replaced them, one of the four doors wasn't positioned properly and it was constantly jumping out of the upper track when it was opened and closed.
The door that wasn't working properly was on one of my closets so instead of fixing it immediately, I just opened it more carefully and guided it along the upper track. But the girls had to open that door to hang my clothes and it always jumped out of the track. Instead of waiting for me to fix it, or asking me to fix it, Ping got some tools and worked with Cici to remove, adjust, and reinstall the door. Now it works the way it was supposed to work.
The girls were rather proud of their work. Lazy Papa, Cici said with a laugh. Mama and I fixed the door for you. Good job, I said. Now I have another list of jobs for you and Mama since you are so good at fixing things. Dream! Cici replied. I am so busy I don't have time to fix anything else. Yes, I said, picking up on our running joke. You have so many jobs that I am surprised you haven't run away from home.
