Other Wives Get Flowers

 

I got a machete!

Okay, just so you don't think Himself is a ghoul, a conversation might have gone like this after I complained about the difficulty I was having clearing some brush.

Me: "I probably need bigger clippers or something to hack through that jungle.

Himself: Or a machete.

Me: Yeah, that would probably work, too.

I laughed when he brought it home. 

Me: Other wives get flowers.

Himself: You didn't ask for flowers. You asked for a machete. You can't say I don't give you your heart's desire when you ask for something and if I can afford it.

  1. I like that machete and could use one for some weeds myself. Smile. I think it's a great gift. I wonder if I should mention it also and maybe the hubby will get me one also. Happy new week!

    1. If there's a Harbor Freight Tools near you, Himself picked up the machete for $5. It's 18 in. long.
