My Redneck Cousin Eileen just called and asked if we would be willing to drive over an hour to her trailer to help move furniture so she and her husband could remove tack strips and staples from the floor. Most of our relatives live within a ten mile radius of Eileen, I don't know why she called me.
It hadn't occurred to her to remove the drawers from the dressers to make them lighter or to remove all the stuff and TV from the entertainment center before moving it. When I suggested she do this to make the moving easier for two people (or even her husband by himself, a nightstand is not that heavy), I was met with silence and then "Oh yeah!"
They'll be getting their new plywood flooring in a couple days. Supposedly they're hoping to get hardwood floor on top of it. In a trailer.

She called you because she knows you'll actually do it. I bet if she called her other relatives they'd all tell her they couldn't. She might be mind-numbingly dumb, but she's smart enough to figure that out.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get from this that I would give in to her request?
