Paybacks have been greatly needed but my brain has been dull. Other than slapping the bathroom door and making him yell and jumping out to scare him I haven't found any really good payback.
Well, today was the day. Meet the wild creature for Two Shoes Tuesday, Timothy Two. Same size, same water garden so if one was placed there logic would tell you T2 was placed there also.
I have nothing against Alligator Snapping Turtles except they eat our fish and do bite what gets in their way. Hubby caught one from a river slough years ago that filled the entire bed of his truck. This one also bit a large V in the boat paddle. I respect them and they taste good.
So after I found T2 I thought, Hubby likes these so well I will just give this one to him. I wrapped him in a cloth and carried him inside and excitedly asked Hubby to look at what I had found.
T2 swam away in the creek where the cattle were resting...but I'm still planning more payback.

Ooer - I suspect there may be a few more surprises in store for you;-)
Good one! Surprise him with a snake next. Preferably a garter snake.
ha ha and if i think of anything i will let you know. T2 is just as ugly as T1.. make that so ugly he is cute.. and dangerous.
My, he is an ugly brute. It sounds as though these domestic tricks are normal in your household. As long as you both can keep laughing that is great.
Ah, yes... satisfaction! I'm glad you 'got' him on that one!
tee hee, I wish I coulda seen it.
I love that you play jokes on each other. I am afraid of those turtles though... I still have a piece missing from my calf where I tripped over one in the dark and fell...she latched on and wouldn't let go... many, many stitches and surgery later... perhaps pick a less dangerous animal...or I like the jumping out and scaring him thing!
You & Tractor Man are dangerous! Obviously you two are a pair, though. That turtle is definitely a creature that deserves respect. I am glad no one got bitten.
good on you
That is so cute. The story, not the turtle. I had never heard of them until my sister started telling me how she was having a terrible time with them as big as the one that was as big as your husbands truck bed.
It is nice to know they are good eating.
Well I hope you have more stories.
Uh oh you are in for it now. I would be nervous.
cute when they are wee, but...
That was a good payback, Gail.
Maybe a worm in the bottom of his coffee cup or some such? ;-)
Oh my I had a good giggle here ! Look out Mr Hubby she gona get ya good lol ! Thanks for sharing ! Have a good day !
Hahaha, take that Mister Sneaky Husband! I like that bit about "might have implied" it was a rock. I think I'd be more than a little taken aback if said rock commenced to move and looked like the photo above! I get such a kick out of him leaving you presents in your water garden, playfulness is what keeps us young! Thanks for the lunchtime laughter, with this delightful TST contribution! I think I shall be mighty leery when we come to visit, if you offer to show me rocks!! :-)
Love your account here!
And I got an education too!
Haha, there is never a dull moment in your marriage!
I'm glad your hubby didn't throw him.

Oh you are a wicked, evil woman! Taking chances like that on a man with a bad ticker! Snort!
Even though you've paid hubby back partially, you need to watch carefully. Hubby will find another way to get you back before you've paid him back in full, lol.
let's hope he doesn't pay you back for half a payback first.
And that turtle that filled the bed of the truck sounds like a big fish story to me. Any pictures to prove it? I'm from the ShoMe state after all. :)
Yes, and we'll all be here to see what other payback you are planning. Bwahahahahahaha.
I think he'll be on guard now.
Have a terrific day. ☺
Good one . . . bet he is gonna get you back again too. So keep stacking up "payback ideas!"
Oh yeah, what comes around, goes around. You got him good!
Hi Gail ~~ I'm not awake yet all the way but soon will be as I'm taking Katrin (our toy poodle) to the doctor this morning.
You find surprises in your garden, perhaps Hubby could find some in his truck now and then?
I did the Tuesday Two Shoes "wild and creature" post. Come see.
Also I'm working on a Friday Five for you.

He, he...I bet hubby is now plotting a payback of his own. Cute little snapper though. Bet he was glad to head on down stream.
I caught a snapper once while visit my grandpa in Ark. and it scared me silly!
Lol, cool turtle! I've heard of snapping turtles, but I've never heard of a alligator snapping turtle. Does it bite alligators?
: )
You guys are so cute with all your antics.
=)
