Conversation between me and my hubby last night:
DH: "So, would you like a parrot for Christmas?"
Me: "Uh, no."
DH: "Why not? Don't you like birds?"
Me: "Parrots are a big mess. My cousins had one and they were a mess. Plus, you probably would teach it to say stuff like, 'Clean the house, Betty.' "[Betty is his nickname for me.]
DH: {laughs} "That's a great idea. Are you sure you don't want a parrot?"
Me: "Yes, I'm sure."
DH: "Well, what about an Ove Glove?"
Me: "You are kidding me, right?"
DH: "No. They were talking about the Ove Glove in nursery today and how it is a great gift."
Me: "I don't remember that."
DH: "Well, they were. Okay, what about a turtle neck?"
Me: "I am not a big fan of turtle necks. Unless it is real cold out."
DH: "You are too hard to buy for!"
Me: "Would you like me to make you a list?"
So I did. We'll see how it goes.

Please tell me that this conversation happened a month ago and your present is hiding in a garbage bad outside with the others.
ReplyDeleteNo this was definitely last night. He is never done with Christmas shopping until last minute.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHa- lets hope it goes better than the birthday list. I am totally staying tuned for more.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS! This is so funny!
ReplyDeleteI was there for the ov-glove conversation, and I am still unconvinced.
I am interested to know what you put on your list...
Hi-larious!
ReplyDeleteAfter this many years of marriage, why don't you initiate with THE LIST hanging around Dec 1st? Your kids are old enough to help you out with DH. A parrot, really? Yikes.
ReplyDeleteWould love to know if the list works! Oh and I am so with you on the parrot. Can you say MESSY!! Corinne told me today she has enough money to buy a parakeet. -- My answer "uh, no." same as yours :)
