Today's Shopping and Sewing

We're surprised that phone Brother is using is still capable of sending texts after the bundle he zapped off today.  First we got a message bright and early this morning, when the repairman showed up to fix the washer.  Brother seemed to have the impression that this repairman was there for something sewing related, and demanded he be evicted at once.  REALLY!  He knows we don't prewash our fabric, so we don't know what he thinks the washer repairman could have been doing for us.  After that batch of texts, we hopped to the store and wouldn't you know it, we found the nicest new ruler.  We don't know how, but that resulted in even more messages saying that he could hear us measuring!  How can you hear measuring?  And then there were the messages objecting to page flipping as we read a new stitching magazine, and we're just bracing ourselves for a ton of messages once Brother learns that we have found a new way to whip through a quilt four times as fast.  That cat needs serious therapy.
