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