My Wife: I’ve seen reports that bears are up and about. Time to bring in the feeder.

Me: Seems awfully early.

My Wife: You said that last year.

Me: I did? Ok, after the weekend.

My Wife: That’s EXACTLY what you said last year. And then when did the bear eat our feeder?

Me: Errr… like Monday night I think.

My Wife: No, it was Sunday morning.

Me: We’ll compromise. How about Saturday night?

SATURDAY, 6:30pm
Me: I took the feeder in. See, no bears.

10 minutes later…

@danmccullough Bear wife: I've seen reports that feeders are being taken down. Time to get a last snack.

Bear husband: OK, we'll do it on Monday.

Bear wife: That's EXACTLY what you said last year. And when did the feeder get taken down?

Bear husband: Errr... Monday?

Bear wife: No, it was Sunday. We barely had time to get our snack.

Bear husband: OK fine, I'll go on Saturday.

Bear wife: Just don't be late.

@danmccullough @sweetmonkeyjesus Similar thing happened to me. My wife had a “suction cup to the window hummingbird feeder” and suggested that we take it down or the bears would come after it. I openly mocked her with the assertion no bear is going to go after that. I didn’t get the picture of the bear standing on the railing, but it was still on the deck…

@alexhaist She has to. She’s seen me blindly lunge to go outside when there’s a bear in the yard one too many times. But, Mastodon! I say. She’s not convinced.

(Also, I read your notification as “Nose for beans.” And thought, where is Alex getting her info? 😂)
