This one had to be based on truth. Doing that to a cow didn’t come from nowhere.

I thought there was going to be a surprise windfall hidden away in the trunk.

I agree — no matter that this is evidence of his kindheartedness and so many other good qualities, Edna still needs to have a roof over her head and to have as much consideration as the strays her husband feels drawn to support. Even if this is extreme, I suppose many marriages have similar challenges — the handyman who is always willing to fix everybody else’s screen door but doesn’t have time for his own, the man who is so devoted to his Church calling that his family is sometimes neglected, the partner (man or woman) who so values a calm and orderly home that s/he makes life hard for the rest of the family who don’t dare drop a sock to the floor …

Edna’s going to need the resourcefulness and sense of humor that were on display when the cow was dressed. I hope she makes it!

What a frustrating life, to be married to someone so generous. (Seriously, I’m not being sarcastic. I’m the overly frugal type).
