The Beast

It's Funny Friday

by Prudence

This is the conversion between Mom and Dad a few weeks ago (AFTER our first big snowstorm).

M - are you going to finally look for a snowblower?

D - yes, I've been looking and I think I've found what I want.

M - okay, are you going to order it?

D - I did yesterday.

M - how long before it gets here?

D - it's coming freight from Ohio.

M - freight?

D - yes, it's 250 lbs.

M - huh (thinking, what the heck did he buy)

 Four days later......

D - the snowblower is being delivered today.

M - yippee.

D - I will take your SUV down the driveway and meet the driver.

M - why?

D - I told you, it weighs 250 lbs. and I am going to have to tow the crate up with the trailer hitch.

M - crate?

D - yes, it's 250 lbs.

M thinking "so how big can a snowblower be, maybe the size of our lawnmower?"

and so, The Beast is now a member of the family, I give you

THE BEAST
(and yes it has headlights and HEATED handles, I asked about a CD player and cup warmer for hot chocolate - I just got "the look", hey they were honest questions (o:
