When a Stranger Calls

I woke up this morning to a knock at the door. When I answered the door, there was a man standing there. He said to me, "Hello, I saw that your grass is tall, and I saw the handicapped plates on your car, so I was just stopping in to see if there is a handicapped person here who can't mow their grass. I would mow it for you."

So I told him no thank you. I have someone who comes and mows my grass, but he hasn't been able to lately because of all of the rain. It's been raining every day.

So then the guy told me, "Well, if it's a handicapped person living here, I would mow it for FREE." Now I don't know about you, but free is my favorite price. But since it's my wife and not me that's handicapped, I told him that's ok, but I sure appreciate the gesture. And then he was on his way.

So when I closed the door, my son was standing there behind me. Now you know how if you want the truth, you ask a child...

In his innocent way, as if to say that the Emporer has no clothes, my son tells me, "You dumbass."
