Usually movies, or baked goods, or cans of iced tea, or hairs on the soap. It's completely sweet especially since I gave birth to his babies after hour upon hour of painful labor, which rendered my bottom half into a floppy deflated balloon, and he sorta owes me...right? Each gift is tallied and then I show my appreciation.<br /><br />(No, he doesn't owe me. I'm kidding. I'm not going to fault him for not being talented enough to use a uterus.)<br /><br />Anyway, when my husband told me he had a present for me, I expected some chocolate. I've run out of the lovely <a href="http://www.russellstover.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1036&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C4%2C15%2C156&iProductID=1036">Russell Stover triple chocolate mousse wafers</a> he gave me on another occasion.<br /><br />I did not expect him to hold me hold me down, lift up my shirt, and rub his summer beard all over my balloonish tummy.<br /><br />(I heard that dejected sigh. Here you thought it was getting good with all the shirt lifting. Well neener neener, you ain't getting free thrills here...buncha perverts.)<br /><br />He called this, "the gift of beard".<br /><br />The gift of beard tickles, unlike the "gift of chocolate."<br /><br />Justin almost got "the gift of wetting my pants" in return. The gift of wet pants isn't as nice as "the gift of hairy soap".<br /><br />Still, I can appreciate the gift of beard. (I'm not talented enough to grow one as Grizzly Adams as his is.) No one has to get you a present, ya know?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Did you hear me Justin. I'm out of Russell Stover. OUT!<br /><br /><br /><br />***<br /><br />Get in your <a href="http://www.absentmindedhousewife.com/2008/07/burlesque-baby.html">Gertie story</a>. I got a prize for the winnah! It's not a paperweight and it's not "the gift of hairy soap".Becky..AMHWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14367710044518218570noreply@blogger.com
