Gift Giving - It's the Thought that Counts

Me:     What did I get you for Christmas again?

Skye:   You got me an airplane and airplane related stuff.

Me:      What did you get me? A helmet with flames on the sides? (I’m thinking post-Christmas trade-in for just plane sparkly red.)

Skye:   They’re not really flames. Just kinda like flames.

Me:      Ummm. I’m a housewife?

Skye:   Not when you’re on the back of the motorcycle you’re not.

Me:      Oh, what am I? Just wrap my legs ’round those velvet rims and strap my hands across your engines?

Skye:   (Thinks about it. Smiles.) Yes.

Me:     Because it’s the thought that counts.

    I missed your comment on my post about my dog back in October, but your comment was hilarious!!

    Every neutered dog has had to wear the lampshade. They are giving him sympathy butt sniffs.

    Thank you for a great laugh!! come visit some more; I will visit your blog.

  • anything that reminds me a Bruce Springsteen song, I’m willing to give a shot

  • Sounds like more excitement that happens here

      Wait til you see the helmet! Designed by a 20-something year old on acid, bought by a thirty-something year old as a present for a forty-something year old housewife. That sounds so desperate.

    Don’t you just love Springsteen? The dude is 60 and still performs with a giant smile of his face. Our daughter was listening to his live classic “Santa Claus is comin’ to town” and asked why he was laughing while he was singing. We could think of no reason other than that he was happy and having fun. Sheer inspiration.

    • Some very good table dancing has happened to Springsteen. And maybe even the registrar’s counter at the College of St. Rose. Impulse control….I don’t haz it.
