She needs a basic biology course in the local high school. There is no such thing as "spontaneous generation" or "spontaneous evolution" with tractor parts rapidly evolving into mice. The DNA is just all wrong! But maybe she'd feel better if you told her that you had seen a brand new "in the box" distributor cap miraculesly evolve into a 4 footed mouse with a 3" tail. "Dear, It's a Miracle!! I just saw it happen!! You were completely right." Maybe that will take care of it, and you will get a nice Christmas present. Show her pictures of the new tool(s) you want and be sure to leave the catalog out where she can see it, like on the kitchen table. She will appreciate your understanding of "the gift delema". And she feels so much better that you agreed with her understanding of how mice are made. You will be her hero!!
I was just told by a friend who's wife is a pediatrician that she told him that guys are only good for 3 things: making Babies, giving Backrubs, and taking Blame for everything (the 3 B's). As the years have progressed in this marriage, she has forgotten about the first 2 B's. So there you are, professional high cost advice from a real doctor, and I passed it on at no cost to your medical plan, and no co-pay needed.
Guys who don't understand these fundamentals end up getting divorced, making the lawyers dance with glee at all the trouble they have created (more trouble = more $$$$). And the poor guy has to sell off his favorite tractors and tools to pay the wife and lawyers. So for sake of "happy tractoring", you've got to take blame for everything....now isn't that easy?? I was a slow learner, but figured this out about 25 years ago after 13 years of difficult marriage when I didn't understand this simple fundamental. Now it is "yes dear, it is/was all my fault" and then I go off to the barn shop and play with my tractors and tools until dinner time.
PS. Get a cat, a working cat, not a big fluffy old lazy lay-on-the-living-room chair kind of cat. And don't feed it too much or it will become the big old fluffy kind.
Of course this is exaggerated for humorous effect, but there might be some small element of truth in it. You be the judge.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
