The Lawn

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer.. Always something more important to me. Finally she
thought of a clever way to make her point.

When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the
grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."

The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

LOL! A tiny sewing scissors to cut the grass and a toothbrush to sweep the driveway! Good one as always Sandee! My weekend is off with a good laugh! Have a great weekend!

Now that is really funny. Mom fell off the chair again laughing so hard. The reason she is laughing so much is she has been struggling with our grass and pulling some of it up. Love the tooth brush angle. Take care.

She may sweep the floor with the tooth new tool-toothbrush- to put pressure on you. Watch out.
have a great day!

Hahaha! I was hoping she hit him hard. Haha! Which reminds me that we will need a new mower soon. And a dryer. And a refridgerator. Sigh...
Enjoy your weeekend, Sandee!

That should get him out of cutting the lawn for a while at least.

I make a point of never angering my wife when she's holding something sharp.

I don't get it. He was just trying to help.

Not everyone's sense of humor is appreciated. He may be able to walk again, but I'll be he's a soprano now.

At least he is walking with limp because of a good reason! He wont make the same mistake twice!
