Hmm. <br />What if in his exhaustion from hedge trimming, he gets lost in his own neighborhood, sits down by a tangle of bushes, and then falls asleep. While asleep the bushes encase him in revenge for all of his past trimmings, and he becomes a hedge-man, part-plant, part-man, part-clippers?<br />Or not.Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-77457647882227225412018-08-24T12:33:11.328-04:002018-08-24T12:33:11.328-04:00Hmm, might be a good idea for that wife to rethink...Hmm, might be a good idea for that wife to rethink that "honey do" list.

His wife is a control-freak who's been bugging him about those hedges for months, but now he's gonna put them to good use. Not on the hedges, of course. On his wife. The fact that the clippers are dull might make the job a little messier, but they'll also inflict more pain.<br /><br />Nah, I "never" do this sort of thing... HA! It's a blessing and a curse to have an overactive imagination.

After an awkward silence, she said, "I've always wondered if you were switched at birth." And of course, I'm immediately thinking, hmm, what if I was?

What if he has been trying to cut his way out but can't? He might finally skewer himself with the clippers and now you're the one trapped in the too perfect neighborhood.Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.com
