What's one more?

I cleared out some room in the sewing loft last weekend.  Late Friday night I finally came in the house.  I had pretty much torn the loft apart trying to figure out what goes where.  I pulled a machine out of its cabinet and brought it in the house to display.  It needs a base but I love its green color.  I said nothing to Steven, just to see if he noticed.

Last night I couldn't stand it any longer.

"Have you noticed anything new in the house?"

"That the roof isn't leaking today?"

"No, something sewing machine related."

"Sewing machine related?"

I pointed the camera at the machine and snapped the picture. 

"That machine"

"Honey.  There are sewing machines everywhere in this house.  Asking me if I noticed another would be like asking a farmer who has 101 cows did he notice that he now has 102 cows in the field."

We laughed.  He is right. 

But then today a patient told me that she knew a farmer who named all of his cows.  That farmer would notice.
