Don’t Make a Fuss About Valentine’s Day        RSS 2.0

My dearest wife is always going on and on and on about NOT making a fuss over her on Valentine’s Day. She repeats that it’s the thought that counts.

Well, I put a lot of thought into the gifts from previous years but she didn’t quite take to any of them like I assumed she would. Here’s my list – see what you think:

• Brand new mop and bucket. I was thinking it would be fun to see what colour the floor was because I couldn’t remember.
• Romantic dinner at fast food restaurant. I was thinking that she might like to go inside for a change instead of fetching dinner at the drive through.
• Chocolates left-over from last year’s candy box. I was thinking of how proud she’d be of me for not wasting food. She’s been nagging me for years to recycle.
• Midnight moped ride through the park. I was thinking that I’m getting too old to be peddling on the bike.
• Dozen roses printed on high quality photo paper. One of my favourites. I was thinking these would last a lifetime instead of just a week.
• 45 second back massage. I was thinking any longer and she might think I was interested in something else.
• Windows Vista I was thinking how proud she would be to be a part of the technology crowd.
