Post-its of wrath - My birthday

 

These post-its are not real.They are just in my head. I love my husband. Seriously.

Dear Fluffy Bear

My birthday is coming up.  

You are a man.  

Man = boy + geek.  

Buying you a birthday present is pretty easy.  It needs to be a toy, and it needs to be electronic.  End of story.

As you know, I am a woman.

Woman = girl + sex bomb + mother + cleaner + philosopher + culture vulture + friend + confidant + fashionista + chef + karaoke queen + stand-up comedian + secretary + project manager + politician + taxi driver + yoga junkie + make up artist + skincare consultant + hairdresser + interior designer + real estate agent + OK let's just leave it here or I'll be here all night.

So here are a few pointers to help you choose my birthday present:

• Anything that can be used in the house by both of us --> Not a valid birthday present
• Anything that needs a charger, or you to "install" it --> Not a valid birthday present 
• Anything that is considered "useful" --> Not a valid birthday present
• Anything that is involves us going to a nice store and you taking out your credit card --> You're getting warmer
• Anything that turns out to be EXACTLY what I dropped major hints about while watching TV --> You're pretty safe 
• Anything small and shiny, that comes in a nice box --> Now you're talking

Great post!! A smart women, who wants to love her gift, knows that a man needs to be coached a little. Good intentions do not necessarily make good gifts!

Amen!

I'll be interested to hear his reaction - when he comes back from his business trip - to this post. I'll let you know what he says!
