   My Wife: I’ve seen reports that bears are up and about. Time to bring in the feeder.

   Me: Seems awfully early.

   My Wife: You said that last year.

   Me: I did? Ok, after the weekend.

   My Wife: That’s EXACTLY what you said last year. And then when did the bear eat our feeder?

   Me: Errr… like Monday night I think.

   My Wife: No, it was Sunday morning.

   Me: We’ll compromise. How about Saturday night?

   SATURDAY, 6:30pm
   Me: I took the feeder in. See, no bears.

   10 minutes later…

     @danmccullough Bear wife: I've seen reports that feeders are being taken down. Time to get a last snack.

     Bear husband: OK, we'll do it on Monday.

     Bear wife: That's EXACTLY what you said last year. And when did the feeder get taken down?

     Bear husband: Errr... Monday?

     Bear wife: No, it was Sunday. We barely had time to get our snack.

     Bear husband: OK fine, I'll go on Saturday.

     Bear wife: Just don't be late.

     @danmccullough @sweetmonkeyjesus Similar thing happened to me. My wife had a “suction cup to the window hummingbird feeder” and suggested that we take it down or the bears would come after it. I openly mocked her with the assertion no bear is going to go after that. I didn’t get the picture of the bear standing on the railing, but it was still on the deck…
