Last week, my husband spent several days harassing me about Valentine's Day. See, he's been at home for the last month - taking care of the house, doing the laundry, making dinner, cleaning, you name it. So, naturally, he told me that he wanted flowers and candy for Valentine's Day. I was considering my options. I had heard an ad on the radio for a good deal on roses (with free candy! and free shipping!), or maybe I'd just pick up a heart shaped box of chocolates. Last Tuesday, when I got home from work, I was playing with our daughter. She and my husband had drawn me a picture of a house with some flowers in front of it earlier in the week. She gave it to me again, and said "We got you some flowers!" I had an inkling that she might not be referring to the picture, but I said, "Yes, I see. They're very beautiful!" And she said, "No, Daddy and I got you flowers." I pointed to the flowers in the picture. "No, Mommy. We got you flowers on the computer." At which point, I turned to my husband and said "I think she just ratted you out!"
On Thursday (my last official work day of the week, because we had a holiday on Friday), I received my flowers from the computer. He even got the flowers that came with free chocolates!
So, what did I get him for Valentine's day? Well, I had a couple coupons for some free stuff, so he got a bag of Stacy's pita chips and and a bag of Golden Double Stuff Oreos. Because my husband appreciates free stuff more than anything!
Don't forget to see what the
rest of the class is showing!
Nice! He worked the free angle in for himself too. Kids are horrible at keeping secrets, well mine are anyway.
ReplyDeleteThey're beautiful!
What gorgeous flowers! he did good.
ReplyDeleteHa! The color variation is much better than a dozen red roses.
ReplyDeleteThe children always rat them out...my husband is so bad at surprises, and he has learned that he cannot tell our son--or else I find out very quickly!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers and great story!
Awe! Indeed, he did good! That solo rose pic, is one of my favorite colors of roses. :) And woot for free oreos!
ReplyDeleteI love that she spilled the beans! Great minds think alike! The flowers are beautiful.
