Today, I proudly presented my work to my wife, who had told me:
“You have free rein to trim the ivy.”
So today, I went full-on ivy-hedge-trimmer massacre.
To be honest, I never liked that plant anyway.
Her reaction:
“You were supposed to trim it – TRIM it, NOT KILL it!!”
...
Clearly, we need to work on our communication.
But hey – as long as the only casualty of our marital communication breakdown is a dead ivy plant, I’d say we’re still within acceptable limits, right?
