I really made a bad mistake yesterday. I asked my wife what she wanted for Christmas. I thought I was all finished with the Christmas lists we used to get from the children…………..who am I kidding? I should have said I’m used to getting Christmas lists from the children but this year, my wife handed me a list of what she wanted.
It started out simple enough, she wanted a gift card to go buy her some new clothes. That sounded easy enough until I noticed that it said $500 should just about cover it. Next was a new necklace. I thought “I can do that” until i noticed off to the side that it should have at least 1 carat worth of diamonds in it or just a 1 carat diamond would work.
I was afraid to read any farther after that but I am a curious sort of guy and I just couldn’t resist. The next item was to totally redo the bathroom in our bedroom. HUH? She wants a new Jacuzzi tub, new fixtures, new vanity, new mirror, new everything in there. Of course after that came that we would have to redo our bedroom to match the new bathroom because the two rooms have to FLOW, as she put it. FLOW!!!! OKAY!!
She said if I wanted to really make her happy, I would redo the kitchen with stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, tile floor, new cabinets, new sink, new fixtures and a totally new kitchen in other words. My thought then was “Who does she all of a sudden think she’s married to? Bill Gates or Donald Trump?”
While I’m sitting there reading this unbelievable list of what she wants, she comes into the room and just stands there and looks at me. I looked at her with total disbelief when she busted out laughing. She said she only wanted for us to go on a cruise somewhere, just the two of us and have a second honeymoon. That wasn’t on the list and then it hit me. Yeah, she got me but good!!!!! The list was a fake. I have a great wife!!!! Cruises are really cheap now so I’m cruise shopping.
