[StBernard] BROKEN LAWN MOWER

[Westley Annis]

I kinda dread when the grass will need to be mowed again. Last year did not
go so well. 

 

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 truck, the car, playing golf.  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.
