Elmo for Belmo

My husband sent me a text the other day:  "Lmo died".  What does Lmo mean?  Who died?  Elmo? Was this a typo?  I pondered for a few moments before I concluded that Lmo must be his abbreviation for LAWN MOWER, which had recently been sputtering and gasping for breath with each use.  I called him to express my sympathies, and he already had a new one scoped out.  We were so excited!  This would be our first real NEW lawn mower!   And to top it off, Lowe's gave my husband a military veteran discount of 10%.  We are now the proud owners of a brand new Troy-Bilt pushmower that starts on the first pull and runs wonderfully.  It's name is Elmo... my husband wrote it on the mower with a Sharpie.  Lmo lives!

  1. Hi, that is too cute. I used to work at Lowe's here where I live and I remember giving those military discounts. They used to not give them unless it was a holiday, or a customer threw a fit about it during any other time. I enjoyed reading your posts, made me laugh. See you in class.
