10/10/10 Beard Trimmings

*walks in slowly and lies down*
I'm back because I forgot to tell you
what Terry did last week Mr. Blog!
For twenty-four years I have been trying
to train him not to leave his beard trimmings
on the bathroom sink ledge.
So last week on his day off we are
in our downstairs bedroom
and he finishes buzzing around
with his beard trimmer
while I am sitting on the edge of the bed
putting on my sneakers
and he says proudly,
"Look honey. No trimmings."
He goes outside to look at the pool
and when I finish tying my shoes
I walk in the bathroom and am shocked
that there is NO HAIR on the edge of the sink!
Then I look down
and see he has
wiped it all off the edge of the sink
onto the floor.
