The Proverbs 31 Wife

She considers her containers, and uses them efficiently.  Her structural visualization as an engineer's daughter allows her to discern what leftovers will fit into what tupperware. This will bring joy to her husband, who will rejoice that additional refrigerator or freezer space (and electricity) will not be necessary. She will point out his flaws with grace and wry humor, and affirm him even when her compliments are complete frauds and they both know it. She will be elected Queen of the May on a stuffed ballot box because of her husband, who will insist that all the mail-in ballots are legit.

He will say he is young and in love even when he is old, and praise her name at the checkout in the supermarket and the dry cleaner to the women there, that her reputation be great in the land, lo even unto Pinardville, Bedford, Manchester - and Hillsborough County as a whole. Her sons will rise up and call one of their parents blessed, though they will disagree about which one.
