Lawnmower for sale

Michael decided to buy a new "self-propelled" lawnmower, so that meant we needed to get rid of our old mower. When I was taking some pictures of it this afternoon for Craigslist, Randi started getting really upset about it; she said she liked the old mower and didn't want to get rid of it. Since we had a couple of other projects we were also working on that afternoon, I was somewhat relieved when she stormed into the house and didn't come out to pester me more about it. Finally I needed something from inside and when I went through the house, I notice she was drawing at the coffee table (something she does quite a bit, so it didn't seem odd or unusual to me) and I was just glad she seemed to be past her little mower melt down. Well, later when Mike and I came in the house for the evening, she gave me this drawing and it about broke my heart...



Notice both the mower and the sun are crying :o(
When I asked her why she was sad, she said it was because she liked the color of the old mower better than the new mower (which is yellow)....oh my!
