It's just a matter of different threshold levels for perceiving that things need to be done. I have a lower dish threshold and a much higher vacuuming threshold than The Boy.

I'm a better handyman than he is, too - he's weirdly proud of that and I've overheard him boasting to his friends about the latest thing I've fixed. I'm just a very hands-on person and I like taking stuff apart.
