My wife accidentally ruined my childhood

Now I realize I'm still walking among the living and if this incident never happen I would even know the difference. So here's the story.

My spouse loves to mow the yard (and I ain't arguing). It's a riding mower and about 3 acres. I don't know if its the vibration while sitting on the seat of the mower or what. I'd like to think I'm enough but I ain't asking that question. Anyway, So she's out mowing and fails to pull the garden hose from the middle of the yard and runs over it. Sure enough cuts the darn thing in about three pieces. No big deal I think. I'll just Jerry rig it together with a piece of copper pipe and a couple of hose clamps. So I stick my finger in the hole, (The hose hole you dirty minded people, get your minds out of the gutter) to get an idea of the size I need. When I pull my finger out I realize it is the slimiest, nastiest gunk inside that hose, and I'm thinking all these years and way back as a kid how we love to drink nice cold water from the well out of the end of the hose. Thanks a lot honey. I will probably never drink straight from the hose again.
