My wife didn’t understand !!!

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, fishing, 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 few minutes.

When I came out again, I handed her a toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," I said, "you might as well sweep the pathway."

The doctors have advised me that I will eventually walk again, but I will always have a limp.
