The Broken Mower
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.
Moral to this story: Marriage is a relationship in which one person is
always right, and the other is the husband.

When we moved - the fields surrounding our new house became an immediate concern of mine. My wife immediately began commenting on how nice it was to watch wildlife along the edges.
I informed my wife that I wasn't going to waste time and money cutting grass and informed her that I would cut a 10' buffer around the house and leave the rest to overgrow.
That worked for the first year but it soon became apparent that overgrowing fields are havens for rodents - and blacksnake's apparently moved in from miles around. I bought a backhoe, re-graded around the house, installed a wrap around driveway and began cutting a 20 - 30' strip around the driveway. Not good enough.
My wife insisted that the fields be cut. So I offered to buy her a tractor so that she could cut the fields. She accepted the offer and started maintaining the fields. That worked okay for about 1 month but ended when she rolled the tractor over a hilliside. I still say it was on purpose because magically she wasn't in it at the time.
So now I'm stuck maintaining fields and a tractor that I refused to waste time and money on in the first place and she gets to watch her wildlife.
Your quote is perfect.

Would the owner of the propane torch, egg beater, pipe expander and vise grips please claim these items. They're lodged in my head and I need the space.
