I announced to a very annoyed wife that I would publicize my newly discovered knowledge of Olympic terminology. I hope she doesn't know what I'm talking about, and is worried that I have some mysterious disease. She has been asking, asking, pleading and asking me to clean the ceiling fan.
I must tell you the ceiling fan in our bedroom. It is white and closer to the sky than to the ground. Every time you lie on the bed and look up at the distant space, the fan will stare at you. There is obvious black dirt on the side of each fan blade. How the dirt got there is one of the mysteries I don't know. I once said, "Look, the house construction company doesn't want us to clean the fans. That's why they put the fans so high." This did not convince her.
Therefore, new tactical excuses. I'm not sure if she understands what I'm talking about, I repeated, "I have some twists and turns."
Simon, she said (Since when did Simon Byers become my wife's friend? Simon did, based on the name!) After winning 30 Olympic and World Championship medals, he got a "twist". "How much did you win?"
Well, I have to admit that I didn't win a medal. That's because, I thought to myself, I haven't participated in the Olympics-otherwise you would never know. However, no one has ever accepted failure, and I pointed out that one does not need to win a medal to get the twists and turns.
"Please do it well?" she asked. "If you don't want to do this, don't do it. Next time he comes, I will do it through the gardener."
When a person realizes that he is not indispensable, his ego will definitely be hurt. So I walked to my neighbor, borrowed a ladder that stretched through the sky, and climbed up carefully, fearing step by step. Don't dare to bow your head when cleaning the fan. I learned to appreciate the supreme strength, training and courage that gymnasts need to do what they do.
The fan, now, shines. I will try to convince my wife that we should buy a black ceiling fan. They will form a beautiful contrast with the white ceiling. They do not need to be cleaned. Or I believe.
