Buckle up and hold on tight. We got it for you.
Here it is Strawberry letter. Thank you nephew. Subject how
did the pine straw get in there? To Stephen Shirley.
My husband and I have a four year old son
and a three year old daughter. We also have two
small dogs. We got one for my son and he
didn't want to share with our daughter, so my husband

(00:45):
and went out and bought her a dog too. We're
happy with our little family, but we are consumed with
household chores and taking care of our children and pets.
I work out after work, so my husband takes the
children and the dogs to the park down from our house.
I got home yesterday and I assumed they were still
at the park. I called my husband, Darryl and Linda

(01:08):
from two houses down, answered the phone, answered his phone.
She said Darrell had to go get one of the
dogs that ran off, So I thanked her and hung up.
I started cooking and cleaning up a bit, and in
comes Darrel with the kids and dogs. He said all
of them had been to the park. He was all
dusty and dirty, but the children were spotless. He said

(01:31):
one of the dogs ran off and he slipped in
pine straw. When he ran after it. He had tiny
pieces of pine straw coming out of his shoe and
out of the back of his jogging pants. He went
to shower and put on clean clothes. A few minutes later,
Linda knocked on the door to return my daughter's shoe
that had fallen off, and Linda was full of pine

(01:53):
straw too. My children were not dirty at all, but
Linda and my husband were. Linda left and I went
to check the jogging pants my husband had on. How
did he get the pine straw all up in his pants?
As soon as he got out of the shower, I
accused him of messing with Linda at the park. He

(02:14):
yelled for a good while, and it made him sound guilty.
Should I watch him and Linda? Now? Is that a question.
Is that a question? Girl? What do you think? Yeah?
You should? You should watch them that Linda start with
what the blank was she doing answering your husband's phone?

(02:36):
I mean, then why was she in your house alone?
You're you're grilling your husband. But please don't let miss
Linda off the hook. She had no business being in
any of this. They are both wrong, wrong and wrong.
They weren't caring anything about you or the kids. Both
of them need to be checked for sure. She doesn't

(02:56):
get to be in your house and which you're a
man with no consequence, say what is this? She's lying?
Your husband's lying, and you know it because they didn't
say anything about the pine straw. That's so very obvious.
That was why he was doing all that yelling and
stuff to distract you. Okay, this is really crazy here.

(03:19):
I mean, both of them have pine straw. It sounds
like to me they were rolling around in the pine straw,
all right. Otherwise how did they get how did they
get the pine straw all over them? And the kids
were out there too, and they got nothing, all right?
I just think you saw it with your own eyes,
a pine straw on both of them, No one else,
not the dogs, not the kids. No matter how he

(03:40):
tries to yell and lie about it, they're both guilty
of rolling around in the straw together. That's my conclusion
after reading this letter. What's another explanation you can think of?
I don't think there's one. You really don't need to
watch them. You really don't because you've seen and heard
all you need to know. Steve, Wow, Wow, wow wow?

(04:03):
Did we read two entirely different letters? Because I feel
as though I did. Tommy bear with me on this
from my brother. All right, you know, you know it's
amazing how women stick together and you all don't review

(04:25):
the facts properly. Get your lives together. Here we go.
How did the pinestraw get up in d Stephen? Sharing?
My husband, I have a four year old son, three
year old daughter. We got two small dogs, one from
my son. He didn't want to share with our door.
This ain't got nothing to do with the damn letter.
So my husband went and bought her dog too, So
damn what there we go. We are happy with our
little family, but we are consumed with household chores and

(04:48):
taking care of our children and pets. That has nothing
to do with the damn letter. Either here we go.
I work out after work, so my husband takes the
children and dogs to the park down from our house.
I got home yesterday and I assumed they were still

(05:09):
at the park. I called my husband, Shirley, you want
to prove your point so bad? Where did you get
she was up in their house? Linda? Nowhere in this
letter because you have decided to side with Linda. Listen

(05:33):
and you all against Daryl. I'm not Sand's phone now,
but you said she was up in their house. Linda
ain't been to the house to lay their own girl.
See you trying to make more out of this than
it is. I assumed they was at the park. I

(05:54):
called my husband that you were right about this part.
Daryl and Linda from two houses down answer his phone.
They were together, that's obvious, but it was not in
their house. They was at the park like a public place.

(06:16):
Daryl can stop Linda from going to the poll now.
She told him Darrel had to go get one of
the dogs that ran off. You just said you all
to console with housework and choice and going to get
them damn dogs is one of them things. He had
to run off. Ain't no talent hop Steve Hang on.

(06:39):
We'll have part two of your response coming up to
twenty three minutes after the hour. The subject of today's
strawberry letter is how did the pine straw get in there? Okay,
we'll get back into it right after this. You're listening
to Steve Hardy Morning Show. All right, come on, Steve,
let's recap today's strawberry letter. The subject is how did

(07:00):
fine stroke get in there? I'm trying to I'm here
on behalf of Daryl, who is in this letter, Shirley
on behalf of the wife, and it's against Linda. This
couple got a lot, two dogs, little kids for ye
old three year old dogs. The lady works out after

(07:21):
work and so the kid take the kids, and the
husband take the kids and dogs to the park down
the street from their house. The lady came in from
home yesterday and they assumed they were still at the park,
so she called her husband, Daryl. Linda from two doors
down answered his phone. I have no idea how that happen.

(07:45):
That's unexplainable. What is she answer for? You therefore, have
every right to want to know that. You go that
right down on how dumb darrel ass really is? Hey, baby,
get that Linda, get that that it might be joe Anne,
get that I'll be down. She answered the phone. She

(08:09):
said Darryl had to go get one of the dogs
that ran off. So I thanked her. So I'm assuming
that what Linda tried to do was throw some shade
by answering the phone but also saying I'm sitting here
on the park pinch and Daryl had to run off
to get one of the dogs. And it must have worked,
because she said so I thanked her and hung up.

(08:33):
I started cooking and cleaning up a bit, and then
come Darrel with the kids and the dog. He said,
all of them had been to the park. That's what
you said that where Lynda answered the phone, he was
all dusty and dirty, but the children were spotless. He said.
One of the dogs ran off, and he slipped in
the pine straw when he ran after him. I played golf.

(08:53):
One of my most dreaded moments is when the ball
is laying in pine straw. I have slipped in pine
straw on the golf course. You can't fall in there.
That's letter is about when he fell. He rolled around

(09:17):
because he's not as athletic as me. Oh yeah, that is.
He said they had been, but he was dusty. He said.
One of the dogs ran off and he slipped in
the pine straw. When he ran after, he had tiny
pieces of pine straw coming out of his shoe. You
got to chase a dog and out of the back

(09:39):
of his jog in pans. He went to shower and
put on some clean clothes. A few minutes later, Linda
knocked on the dough to return my daughter shoe that
had fallen off, and Linda was full of pine straw too.
You know, Linda, this hell for him. Man, the most
you know, you're answering phones, bringing shoes back, getting out

(10:00):
shoes and evidence and all this him. Linda, your ass
is the other one. You gotta start. You gotta know
other one rules. Your ass gonna be answering the damn
phone and bringing shoes back. Right, Linda was full of
pinestraw too. My children were not dirty at all, but
Linda and my husband were. Linda left and I went

(10:23):
to check the jogging pants my husband had all How
did he get pinestraw all up in his pants? Yeah,
he told you he failed. That's what we all want
to know. He he felt as soon as he got
in the shower. He felt Linda was helping look for

(10:43):
the dog too. She felt everybody can't stand up in pinestraw.
Very few people know how to do that. You didn't
know what pinestraw was minute ago, So how do you
know how to stand up in it? I bet you
a fall too. But then I accused him of messing

(11:06):
with Linda at the park. He yelled for a good
while and it made him sound guilty. Oh, now see,
you ain't got enough proof right here. Pinestraw is not
an act of guilt, now, sir. You had to get
more evidence to be to accuse this man. It is
because she had pinestraw on her, because she was at

(11:28):
the park now with them kids and them dogs there.
You know, dogs can find you no matter where you're going.
So I don't know how you think they didn't find
them if they was messing around in the pinestraw, which
I DIBt very six at the end of the daytime
at the park. Shirley, No, it was what Darrel said

(11:53):
it was. And then Shirley, you said, and don't let
Linda off the hook. You need to talk to her.
Fo what check Kerr for answering his phone And she
doesn't know how Linda got pines straw and her that
ain't her damn business. He bought them kids back spotless,
which is good parenting. Them kids didn't were not dirty

(12:16):
at all. You're not giving Darrel no damn credit for
the good job of parenting that he did. And all
you want to do is you want to talk about
how Linda got some pining straw on her. The fact
of the matter is how the kids ain't got no
pine straw on them at all. You better be a parent, Darryl.
You got to be a parent, boy, running after dogs
and sacrificing your safety and rolling around in that prime

(12:37):
straw to get them kids back to the house spotless
and clean. But oh no, you want to accuse him
and sleeping with Linda at the park in the middle
of the damn daytime with two babies and a dog.
How I think you innocently post your comments on today's strawberries?
Stop cutting me off Facebook. And Linda was never at

(12:59):
the how and Jack, but she did do it with
Darryl coming up at forty six minutes after the hour
