When our lawn mower broke, my wife kept hinting that I should get it
fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of
first, the truck, the car, fishing--something more important to me.

Finally she thinks of a clever way to make her point. When I arrive
home one day, I see her sitting in the tall grass, busily snipping
away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors.

I watch silently for a short time and then go into the house. I'm gone
a few minutes and when I come out I hand her a toothbrush. "When you
finish cutting the grass," I say, "you might as well sweep the
sidewalk."

The doctors say I will walk again, but I'll always have a limp.
