Once the water flows, the hose jerks to life like a possessed anaconda. It writhes across the grass, spraying the neighbor’s cat instead of your petunias. You grab it, but it’s too late—you’re already wet. Congratulations. You’ve been baptized in the church of yard work.
Sometimes, the hose decides to detach mid-squirt. It’s a surprise shower, and you are its only guest. You stand there, holding the empty end, while water shoots out of the spigot like a fire hydrant at a block party.
