0831 blowin' in the wind

My mother saw an ad for a leaf blower in the newspaper, so she told my father, “I see the store has a special on leaf blowers so why don’t you go and pick one up? Using a leaf blower will be easier than sweeping the leaves in the driveway!”

Sounds about right? Get an image in your mind? Good. Now substitute “leaf blower” with “blow dryer” and you’ll see what my mother actually said. Funny thing is, she knows what she said.

My father went to get the leaf blower, but put the ad in his pocket. He looked at me and said, “In case I ask for the wrong thing.”
