Keep Off The Grass

by Jody on June 4, 2008

Do you remember that crabby old neighbor guy whose grass you weren’t allowed to step on let alone look at?  The predictable one who would cut grass daily. The irritable one who would get upset if the neighbors didn’t cut grass every other day.  The neighborly one who will cut your grass if you don’t because he doesn’t want to look at it.  The paranoid one who will sit in his recliner just waiting for someone to come near his lawn.  The controlling one who doesn’t let his wife cut grass in fear the lines wouldn’t be straight.  The crazy one who would cut grass at 5:00 a.m. until his wife threaten to call the police for breaking the city ordinance law.  The demanding one who wanted his wife to complain to the neighbors for raking their leaves for the first time all fall knowing there’s a north wind that would blow all the leaves into his yard.  The one who worships his grass and would rather cut grass then … well …

Yep, that’s my hunter and this is what the neighbor kids got him for his birthday.

Little does he know what I do when he isn’t around…

 Have a great day all!

That shirt is too funny!!!

He definitely has more motivation then me. I could care less about the grass. I mow it because I have too.

Ah, I like your husband…If I could have a lawn like your’s I would, but not being able to walk on it ??? Hmmmm, footprints leave dents ?

Yes, Mark loves his lawn….looks better than any golf course I have seen..and when he got the new inground sprinkler system last summer you would have thought it was Christmas all over again…

I love the shirt. Wish he was my neighbor.

I think he must be related to my neighbor across the street.

Love the shirt!

That’s great! Lawn looks awesome – I can’t believe you had the nerve to walk on it! :) Your neighbor kids either have a great sense of humor – or they’re really not bashful about pointing out people’s obsessions!

Awesome shirt! It suits the expression on his face, which looks to me like ” get *$#@ off my lawn!”

Ha! I should get FireDad that shirt. Too funny.

Jody June 4, 2008 at 12:54 pm

OMG, Michelle…ha!

He needs to come teach my neighbors how to mow. Instead of sleek lines left from mowing, they just mow in crazy circles until it looks like all of the grass is gone..yeah.. :) Thanks for adding me on twitter! :)

The Lawn is impeccable, though. And that shirt is priceless.

He would hate us! It isn’t that our lawn is too awful, but that I have kids that do love to play football, and other stuff in it. No dog poo tho’ ;-)
Funny post..great shirt!

Jody June 5, 2008 at 5:30 am

Marky, if you were our neighbor and you didn’t cut your grass he would do it while you were sleeping.

Wow, that’s a gorgeous lawn!
I gotta say… I’m pretty mean to the neighbourhood kids about my lawn too! (When they run across it, ride their bikes, and leave their garbage on it!) You’d think we lived in a complex with tiny lawns. *sigh*

I love that shirt! :-)

That’s too funny. Can I borrow Mark in a few months. I’m looking into buying a house, and I don’t want to have to cut the lawn.
