A Lovely Sunday Afternoon

It was a lovely Sunday afternoon, when Lexi’s mother asked her to mow the lawn. While

listening to her favorite Lady Gaga hits, she gets distracted and ran over something quite

unexpected.

Lexi

Yeah, I was mowing the lawn. I may have been listening to my favorite Lady Gaga songs and

yes I may have ran over my little sister’s cat’s tail, but really is that the issue here? Is that really

what we’re all worried about? No, because sometimes you just have to think that jamming out to

Pokerface is the right thing to do! Besides, the cat is probably fine. I couldn’t find the tail in the

yard anywhere… or the cat. It just disappeared like it had never even been here. I mean really

this wasn’t my fault. Why would the cat be dumb enough to eat the roses in the flower bed while

I’m mowing the lawn? I know the flowerbed usually isn’t something you mow over, but it was

an accident, I was listening to… you know… some bumpin’ jams and to be honest, I feel like

that flowerbed could have used a little more TLC. Running it over with a lawn mower did it a

favor.

Mom

You know this was the first time we let Lexi mow the lawn. Her father is always a stickler about

the yardwork and has never let anyone, not even me, touch the grass with any kind of blade. I

figured since Jason was away until his birthday it would be the perfect gift, which was also

conveniently free, kind of like washing the dishes, only the girls never seem to do that as a free

gift for me ever. They only give me their phone bills and car insurance and sometimes a friendly

pat on the back. What a gift for birthing them into this world? Am I right? Anyways Lexi is a
good driver so I figured she would be decent with the lawn mower. Boy was I wrong, and boy

was Jay mad.

Dad

… I was gone for one day… one day and they ripped my world apart… whatever I’ll fix it

tomorrow.

Lexi

I don’t know why he’s so worried about the lawn. Well he’s not as mad as I thought he was

gonna be. He didn’t slam any doors or throw anything this time, but I chopped the darn cat’s tail

off and no one seems to care for chrissake! Jeslyn is going to flip!

Jeslyn

I just think it’s funny that she really thinks she chopped off the cat’s tail. My cat has never had a

tail; it was born without one. So really, all she did was drive over the flower bed, and honestly

looking at the yard now I don’t even think she had the blades down on the mower. Oh heck no

she didn’t! It literally looks like she just drove around the yard with it! Haha! I love it when

Lexi’s an idiot.

Lexi

Sooooooooo…. It turns out the cat never had a tail.

I didn’t put the blades down on the lawn mower.

All I really did was run over the flower bed while listening to Lady G.

And what did I get out of today?

Dad needs to mow the lawn himself or else the cat is gonna loose the tail it never had and Lexi is

going to have a mini heart attack for the second time. Good bye.

Thank God.
