Oh my! I giggled and gurgled and howled my way through this post. It hit so close to home! We also farm, and have outbuildings full of Very Important Stuff. My hubby is also a contractor, so he has not only the usual farming stuff, but lots and lots of carpentry tools that I don’t play with and don’t know the names of.
Our roles are pretty traditional as well.
Thanks for starting my day off with laughter and sharing a part of your life can relate to so very well.
I admire your chutzpah! Tim doesn't like to see me using tools either, but I think his reasons are less altruistic than Ben's: basically, Tim thinks I just don't do the job well enough and he could do it much better.
That said, I do have my own kitchen toolkit - that he's not allowed to use without my permission. 😅

I knew you would “get” this!

I’ve threatened to paint my tools pink like Aunty Ann painted hers green. 😂
