Well, I was at it again this afternoon. Being the good wife I am, I was cutting the grass so Moon didn't have to when he got home. (By the way, Moon has only cut the pasture once or twice this year and he has only cut the back half of the yard - under the trees and behind the garage - once this year. I have cut it ALL the other times...) Anyhow, Moon did get home as I was cutting the grass so he got in the pool to clean it. Now I'm on the side of the house closest to the road, so Moon can see me from the pool. Since Moon does not allow me to weedeat because I use too much string, he has to do the weedeating, but that takes any act of Congress! Trying to make the yard look as good as I possibly can, I go into the low area of the ditch to cut the grass there and I get as close to the edge as possible where the ditch is a little steeper. Today I had a difficult time trying to get the mower to back up once I got close to the edge. Because I was thinking, I turned the mower off and looked toward the pool to get Moon to maybe push me backwards. I could not find him and he did not answer to me calling him. My next plan was to enable the parking break, which I did. At that point, I got off the mower, got around to the side, released the parking break, and pushed with all my might. No such luck! Now I knew I was stuck, so I either had to let the mower go or stand there hoping Moon would soon appear again. I let the mower go and it went nose first into the ditch. (The mower was unharmed and works as good as it did before.) So, I walked up to the pool and asked Moon if he would help me push the mower out of the ditch. Now for some trivia.
When I asked Moon if he would help me push the mower out of the ditch, what was his FIRST response?
A. Did I hear you correctly?
B. Do what?!
C. Are you ok?
D. What happened?
E. Wait 'til Josh hears 'bout this!
Sadly if you picked E, you are correct! : ) Anyhow... Moon came down to the road, laughing, and pushed while I pulled and we got the mower out. I got back on and finished while Moon continued to laugh as he walked back to the pool.
