The man who lives across the road from us is currently serving in Iraq. His wife lives in the house alone. She needs help doing the yard work because she can't start the lawn mower by herself. She won't ask for help to start it, so the yard was turning into a jungle. Marcus arranged to have the missionaries help him get the yard cleaned up. He figures if the man is serving our country and helping to protect us, the least Marcus can do is cut his grass.
After they were done with all the yard work, Marcus took them all back home. The missionaries live by the dog park in town and at the time Marcus dropped them off, there were seven or so Minpins at the park. One of the missionaries said he wasn't sure how he felt about Minpins; he thought they were yappy little dogs. Marcus said that his wife had one and she was an ornery little thing. The missionary then said, "The dog? Or your wife?"
I won't tell you what Marcus said...
