Call right away all excited for you. "hey wife you'll never guess what I just scored?" string her along for a minute then tell her about the two tickets and that you wanted to tell her first. But don't ask her to go right away, save that for when you get home. So then get off the phone real quick. here kitty, kitty.
OK, put the catnip out. Let's see if she likes it.
Called W as she and the kids were pulling into our driveway on the way back from running errands. After the initial pleasantries...
Me: "Wow, I just got a couple of tix from a client to something Alton Brown is taping at XXXX."
W: "That's pretty cool. When is it?" (Funny, I haven't asked you yet...)
Me: August 29th."
Then I hear my D5 yelling from the back seat...
Me: "Well, I just wanted to let you know. Let me let you go, sounds like you have your hands full, and I have a conference call coming in. See you"
