Lessons You Learned the Hard Way

Learning where to carry your wallet

One fall day I was using my lawn tractor to chop leaves out back. I took my hearing aid out and put it in my wallet to keep the dust out of it. I put the wallet in my shirt pocket with the intention of taking it in the house when I got back into the main yard. But something distracted me.

I started blowing the leaves when my dog jumped up on me, wanting me to pet him. I finished blowing the leaves and burned them. When I missed my wallet, I discovered that the bottom of my shirt pocket had come unseamed. My wife and I looked for the wallet and couldn’t find it. The next day, I decided to blow the driveway off and found only the metal social security card.

I had burned up $859 and my hearing aid. I have learned the hard way about putting my wallet in my shirt pocket.
