Inventors must be smart about materials…and other things too.
My wife wanted a wheelbarrow - to help her yard work. We went shopping right away. What a smart idea!
Rosie liked the first little red wheelbarrow she saw. I said, no way! It’s all metal. It will rust. No matter, she loved the red color. I argued our coastal climate and salt air would eat it up. She whined about it being “so cute”. When I grabbed a green fiberglass model that would be better, she bristled. We bought the red one.
Two years later, I’m being smart again. We had to toss the rusted-out whellbarrow...hardly anything left. I cleverly pasted a screensaver to Rosie’s laptop. She can enjoy her rusted-out wheelbarrow forever. Well, maybe I knew a few things after all!
P.S. Rosie will never see this story. How smart is that!
