Everybody needs a LaLa.
The woman behind everything she knows.
LaLa is the woman people call.
Not because she claims to know everything. Because nothing intimidates her enough to keep her from figuring it out.
She is independent, capable and resourceful. She does not wait around for somebody else to solve the problem. She can fix a running toilet, mow acreage, paint a room properly, season cast iron, rescue a sourdough starter and get a house ready for a freeze, and she knows exactly when a job has crossed the line into call-a-professional.
She also loves big. She is a mother, grandmother, friend, sister and neighbor. She is the person who brings the food, shows up with the wrench, remembers your birthday and stays until the problem is solved.
And if she teaches you something once, she expects you to know it next time.
LaLa is independent because she is capable. People depend on LaLa because she is dependable.
There are a thousand things nobody ever taught you. That is not your fault, and it is not a character flaw. It is just a gap. LaLa fills it, once, and then you know it forever.
