Man rule #72: Do not ask a man to pull weeds. He asked what he could help with at the Stow house last weekend.

In prep for this, I asked him to pull the weeds out of two small sections. His solution? Take a bottle of spectracide weed killer and spray the weeds! And of course leave the dead weeds there. My response? “Do you think any of these plants I just got are going to grow where you sprayed?” God help me
