Sadly, We’re the Redneck’s…
July 10th, 2009 Posted in funMy wife has been cutting my hair for about 7 years now. We’ve got a standard clipper with the length attachments and it does a fine job. No one’s made fun of me yet! When it’s warm enough outside, we cut my hair outside so we don’t have a mess of hair to clean up.
Our back yard faces a pond that has about a dozen other houses around it. Our neighbors at one of the other houses are avid fishermen and often pull out lawn chairs to their corner of the pond and sit and fish and drink. Sometimes they leave the cooler and chairs out there for days at a time.
During my most recent haircut, I was facing the pond and watched a 5 year old girl dragging a lawn chair to the pond. She worked with effort and determination pausing only once for a rest. It seemed like it took her several minutes to get to the pond.
I know at other points in time we’ve both mentioned that the neighbors would sit out there for hours, or even all day. Sometimes there would be just two, and sometimes five or more. I pointed out the whole thing to my wife and with a slightly embarrased tone of voice said “Sadly, we’re the rednecks in this situation…”.
She laughed quite a bit. I like making her laugh.
