29 Gifts-Day 6

My gift today was to buy my husband's favorite pastry for him while doing my grocery shopping. I laid it on the counter with a little note and it was several hours into the afternoon before he finally noticed it. I knew he would have a big reaction so I had been anxiously awaiting his realization.

I was in the midst of cooking supper when he saw them and his reaction certainly met my expectations. My husband presents as a very cool, calm, collected, quiet type in most circles but at home he is a loud, goofy, sometimes slightly obnoxious (said with all the love in the world, sweetie) character.

When he saw the package he let out a whoop and grabbed me for a big smooch. What followed gave me a chuckle.

Luckily, our kids haven't reached the age yet where any P.D.A. by their parents is totally gross so W just sat at the table watching the scene unfold. Hubby continued his song of praise for me and finally turned to W and said, "Just so you know, you have the most amazing woman in the world for a mommy."

Dramatic pause.

Crickets....chirp...chirp...

And finally W just replies with,

"Why?"
