My husband and I were cleaning windows together yesterday. We have the doublehung (双吊钩) 1       that you can pull forwards and flip (翻转) , allowing us to 2        the inside and the outside surfaces.

  My husband was 3        one window―and it popped out of its frame!Well,our 4       is for sale and the last thing we needed was for something to 5       .

  He was so 6        and tried with all his strength to get it 7        together* using a few less than pleasant wordsCI am sorry to say) . After twenty minutes he still could not get it 8       . That's when my 23-year-old 9       told his dad to 10        for a minute and he would try to fix it with me.

  It's amazing how you can see things more clearly and do things more 11        when you are 12       . He and I fixed the window in three minutes!I called my husband in to see!He couldn't 13        it!

  I know this isn't really a gift 14      ,in a way,it was. My son 15        my husband to leave,to cool down,and 16       him from the worry for a mo?ment. And my son fixing it with me was a 17       to me,because I saw him as a man instead of the kid he always seems to be in my 18       .

  Calmness is good. Breathe through 19        times and maybe even take a break from stressful times. Return with a clear mind and things will usually 20        much better!
