Narrative:

In the process of trying to show my wife how to land the aircraft if something happened to me, we misunderstood each other as I had told her if an emergency arrived don't worry about putting gear down. I went through checklist but operated gear to show her. On final I put gear up and landed with it up. It was a very smooth landing and minimal damage to our aircraft occurred. If propeller checks out ok and wheel well door are replaced and some damage to flaps is repaired, plane will by flyable.
