In a testament to how deeply they bonded together on a Father’s Day fishing trip this last weekend, the lawn care cycles of a local group of Beacon Hill neighborhood friends have reportedly synchronized.
“I know they say it’s a myth that men’s lawn care cycles sync after they hang out with each other for even a weekend, but just look at how all five of them are mowing and getting stains all over their pants at the same time,” said one of their wives, Renee McClintock. “That’s no coincidence they’re out there together right now, and neither is how wet and fertilized all the lawns were yesterday.”
Although their wives agree it can be tough to deal with them simultaneously being moody, sullen and withdrawn during the mowing phase, the wives said some aspects of seeing their husbands go through their cycles together are kind of adorable.
“If one of them runs out of trash bags and really needs one asap, one of the guys always has a Hefty Strong on-hand,” said another wife Sharon Wellesley. “Sure, they act a little weird in some phases of their lawn cycles, but, you know, it’s just their nature. We get a neighborhood of beautiful lawns out of it, so it’s all worth it in the end.”
Suspicions that many more male friend group’s lawn care cycles across Seattle also synced were confirmed today after every grocery store in the city reportedly sold out of every flavor of Ben & Jerry’s.
