I mowed my granny stocking!

I did laundry Monday & hung it out, leaving it out overnight. Tuesday I did some stuff on the way home from work, & darkness was approaching when I got home. But I was determined to cut the grass because I'm going to be away for a 3-day weekend. So I dashed out & brought in the laundry. But only one of the pair of granny stockings (you know--those knee-high nylons you wear under pants. Like I said, I'm no fashion queen. I'm an old lady at heart!) was hanging on the line. Looked around & couldn't find the other.


Got out the lawn mower & quickly mowed in the falling darkness. I have one of those mowers that has no motor--an old-style push mower. As I was finishing, I couldn't get the wheels to turn. I hauled the mower onto the deck where I could turn my porch light on & see the problem. The other granny stocking was wrapped tightly around the mower mechanism! ROFL. I had to cut it away w/scissors.

No, I knew that if I kept the other one, it would hang around until I had forgotten what had happened to its mate, & I would hold onto it forever, hoping the mate would show up. LOL. So I trashed it.

It's a sad thing, isn't it? ;o) I figured it was the kind of thing that could only happen to me. LOL
