I Did It Again

by David Yehudah, Bellflower, CA, USA

I did it again; got myself in trouble. Am digging my own grave with my mouth.

Earlier this morning I was 'helping' Patty cut out some material with a roller blade cutter. On this particular cut I made one pass forward, then another pass back to make sure it cut all the way through. Patty remarked that if I did it right the first time, I didn't have to make a second pass. Exasperated at my way of doing it, she made the next cut herself. Of course, it only cut about half the material with one pass, and she had to make another. I remarked to no one in particular that a very wise woman once told me that if it were done right, the cut could be made in one pass.

She said, "That's the first time anyone ever called me a wise woman."

I replied, "Well, yeah, I thought that sounded better than 'smartass.'"

I would have posted this earlier, but she just now let me back in the house.
