Sometimes casualties are really not intended they just keep happening with the select few of Gods favourites.
She was newly wed and all family waited with high expectations…knew only some of everything but not all,no-one however realised that a young bride of 21 years needed time to gain experience before doing things with perfection.
Every few days some folly took place and she thought this is the last, never again shall i let such a thing happen but blunders came so naturally it seemed amusing !
The very first happened when she was gifted a round portable oven to bake cakes and pizzas. After great effort and going through recipe books she was baking a cake… so fantastic that her heart grew larger just as the cake kept rising inside the hot oven. Now was time to check if it was done, it looked a beautiful brown and bloated ready to be savoured quickly. So with all good intention she picked the cover and carefully placed it on a chair close by……….. and there ! disaster happened !!! There was a perfect round circle in the plastic knitted chair, even the moon couldn’t have looked rounder… hell with the cake, now what?.. God save !
She slowly put the chair at the back of the dining table where almost no-one sat and let it rest there till one day her husband asked—’ Hey ! how did you manage this? ‘ Blunders just happen she said,you don’t plan them. With a tiny family of three it was always easy to catch the culprit.
Another time,when hubby dear and mom-in -law had gone outstation to attend a wedding she rushed to the nearby paint shop and got a can of white enamel paint along with a brush. Soon all the doors which were dark brown transformed to white and surely changed the entire look of the house. Then was time to wait for the two very important people in her life to come and start pouring words of utter praise and appreciation,but holy wrath spelled fury in her mom-in laws eyes…along with normal wooden doors a set of teak doors got painted. So there goes… all effort to please went down the drain and blunder surmounted again.
However it was hubby dear who drove in like an ambulance personified shrieking … Save me my wife!
Adorable indeed, he never got upset with accidents happening over and over. Instead patiently smiled and waited till the next followed, inevitably. So to him she remained ever so grateful…
Oh sweetie – I can so relate — I can’t tell you how many “blunders” have happened here — it would take years to tell them all! LOL My husband has this thing about not painting wooden things so anytime I suggest we paint the wood trim he goes total bonkers on me – I usually just do it anyway and he gets used to it.

Liked it….and your experiences in trying to live up to certain expectations. And now, in hindsight to realize how much stress& fear it caused all because your intention was to make to make it better. None of us were more perfect than the other, we all had our share of mistakes and blunders.
