I have a confession: I have close to ZERO mechanical aptitude or understanding. I tend, as an example, to stand in front of store doors for half a second in the hopes someone is coming out so I know which way the door opens because I can not necessarily tell.
I am in awe of how light switches work and never take them for granted and what about pedestrian nearly-forgotten items like the humble Thermos bottle? It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold-how does it tell the difference? It is a mystery to me.
My wife possesses more skills in her little finger than I have in my entire body. She is a wonderful chef, an expert handyperson (see my above observation on mechanical aptitude), and a wizard seamstress. I mention that last attribute because I have a newfound appreciation for her sewing machine.
Not that I'm about to break out in song or anything, just sayin'.
