After reading a few threads regarding the upcoming Christmas season, I thought I'd post a funny story, and ask you to add to it.
If you've ever received a wacky present, or one you had to pretend that you liked, please post it.
About 5 years ago, when I first started celebrating Christmas with hubby, I got a real shocker of a present. A Deep Fryer.
Now, hubby was *very* proud of himself. You see, about three months prior to Christmas we were going through Costco (warehouse type store) when I noticed they had a nice little deep fryer. Now, we very rarely if ever eat friend foods (once a month if that.) And it's usually fish--and the fish smell. However, the smell lingers in your house well after the fish is gone.
I made a small comment like, "We should get one of those one day. Then I could put it in the garage and not have the fry smell in the house."
Hubby is quick to point out that "WE DON'T EVEN EAT FRIED FOODS ALL THAT MUCH. Why should we spend $100 on that thing? blah blah blah."
I was like, "Chill out, man. I didn't say I was buying it today. I said it would be nice to have ONE DAY."
Hubby relaxes and we continue through the store.
Deep fryer never mentioned again. Until Christmas morning. When I unwrapped that damn thing I felt like June Cleaver. Hubby had a shit eating grin on his face. He made some comment like, "I was listening when you said you wanted one!" [8>]
My reply was, "If I'd known you were listening for clues, I would have cruised past the jewelry case."
MEN.
