Handy Man

He is so handy. There are times when I take this personally. I am not particularly handy. I mean I can do some things don’t get me wrong, change a light fixture, snake a sink, install facets but not the real the big stuff. There is a skip and void there that every once in a while gets me.

99% of handy man didn’t pick those skills up on their own…they were not born handy…they don’t have some ingrained genetic ability or superiority. They usually learned that skill from their dad. When someone who happens to be handy makes fun of someone who isn’t I can’t help but be a little sad cause what I really hear is how come you can’t do this? Your dad must have not been there…and most of the time that is true.
