What His Gift To You Says About Your Relationship

Hilarious! And true!

One photo shows the book “Paris 1919″, and I gave once someone a copy. I wonder if she thought my secret message was to force her to read it with my implied “Don’t make me think I’ve underestimated your intellect!”

She didn’t read it. Maybe her secret message to me was, “GFY — get your hands off my intellect!”

Of course, I never brought it up that I noticed it hadn’t been opened. She probably figured I must be thinking, “Silence will rub her nose in it even more than mentiioning it would. Not clearing the air will make her feel guilty forever!”

I naturally thought that would mean she was scheming to get back at me. So I began plotting to give a preemptive gift to head off her attack. I could double down with “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare”, which would really pin her ears back. But I decided it was better to split her forces by assaulting from another direction by giving her a gift certificate for rock climbing lessons. She would be thinking I was shouting, “It’s time you finally got out of your shell.”
IMO, that disoriented her long enough for me to re-gift the silkscreen picture of elephants she gave me. There’s no way I was going to accept her insinuation I’m not committed and commnual enough!
