Jessica gave simple instructions. And if that wasn’t enough a list.
Clean out garage
Get planter for the pansies
Kenny pulled out the old refrigerator and rusted out drawers. He forgot all about the old toilet behind them.
“Hey, this will work. She really liked when I took apart the broke wicker chair and put a pot in that. Hell, this had the pot built in!” Kenny raises the beer in celebration. “Hot damn! She’ll love it.”
Before he could get it out of the garage, he heard the squeak of the minivans breaks.
“I know you ain’t putting that in our yard!” Jessica was surprised alright.

This is so funny. Sometimes men and women just don’t speak the same language. Or live in the same world.

Yep. I often ask my wife if I should talk in Chinese since English doesn’t seem to work.

Nice take. I don’t know I think a toilet makes a great planter.

I would do it, flowers in the bowl and in the tank. Hubby would not be amused. There would be no alcohol involved. Nice little story!

Too many ‘brilliant’ ideas come from behind a beer – or seven. 🙂

Creativity in children and men should be encouraged! Really it occupies us in a different part of the house

Much agreed seven or eight is when creativity peaks. Ambition is usually waning to prevent most projects. But the ones that get thru…..😃

Dear Mark,
Some ideas are better received than others I guess. Personally I’d make a planter out of a toilet, if only to irritate my husband. 😉 Cute story.
Shalom,
