A Riddle*

We have built-in grill on our patio — it isn’t mobile, it’s attached to the cement. We use it a lot during the summer but it’s getting pretty old. So, here’s your riddle:

If TheLadyoftheHouse says “That grill is going to fall over, and no one listens to her, will it still fall over?”

Here. I’ll help you out and make the riddle a little easier.

If TheLadyoftheHouse says “That grill is going to fall over, and no one listens to her, and a big storm comes along, will it still fall over?”
Well, here’s proof, that those of you who answered “yes” would actually listen to TheLadyoftheHouse, aka Me:

Grill

A big storm did come up and it did fall over. It was probably time, there was a lot of rust on that poor ol’ grill — it’s been here a lot longer than we have. So, we went grill shopping yesterday. Woohoo! New grill!

Hope you’re having a Beautiful Sunday!
XOXO,
Anna

*The title of this post would have been more accurate to say: How I wasted spent my Saturday. I had lots of other things that I would have rather been doing!

  1. OMG, Anna! That is SO funny! No, no one listens to the lady of the house, no matter what pearls of wisdom may drop from her lips!! It’s the same at my house – I feel your pain. And, I know what you mean about other ways to spend (waste) your day. lol!!

  2. Ahhhh, if only they would learn to listen to the lady of the house!
    I’ll bet whoever does the grilling will enjoy a nice shiny new grill!
    Sounds like you obviously got some of the crazy weather too. We were spared most of it – just lots of rain.

  3. And the motto of the story is – always listen to Theladyofthehouse (so difficult to type without the spaces). In answer to Lucy Locket’s riddle – school shoe shopping everytime!

  4. As my Mum would say, you were casting pearls before swine!
    Hope the new one is a success.
    Ours fell to bits, & we have not bothered to replace it.

  5. Men NEVER listen to us women. They think we dont know what we are talking about. Then when something breaks they say we should have told them. HELLLOOOOOO!!! WE DID!!!

  6. Men have selective hearing. They’ll only prick their ears if they feel its worth their while….but you know that already. I feel your pain! LOL!

  7. I love your approach to this topic… so clever. I hope you enjoy your new grill and make yummy things on it. The Food Network has so many good ‘grilling shows’ right now.

    PS I’ll email you regarding the enchiladas. The story’s too long to put in your comments.
