Like an old married couple

[SpaceAnJL]

I, er,... *footshoves a pile of notebooks under the desk*... yeah. That's the problem, see, there's a reason I put 'Discordian' on my profile, it's more a state of being. It's just my darling husband is worse.

That's the true opposites attract of Penny and Sheldon. He'd bake and keep the place clean, she could be the practical one who could fix the car. (How does a woman who fixed a tractor engine at the age of twelve become deskilled enough to screw up a glue-gun?) He needs her chaotic sense of fun to lighten him up, and she needs his order to ground her. But they'd make each other better, rather than propping the other one up.
