Hairy, I'm sorry your wife dissed the cake. What a lovely gesture.
However, you're making me feel bad for my plate spinnage towards H.
Are men really that dense? Do they not pay attention to their wives? With your wife's personality, I can see that VD would be a friggin landmine in your home. To not acknowledge it is suicide, but to acknowledge it in any kind of sexy or romantic way is to buy into the paternalistic notion that women are tools for your own pleasure. The cake seemed pretty innocuous.
I can't for the life of me figure out what would possess my husband to pick out some 9.99 Mom necklace and think that I'd like that. Honestly I'd have rather him just gotten me a card. Or nothing. And then to spend 60 dollars on six roses the day after VD is just asinine. What a waste of money on a too late gesture.
Ah well, you've got me thinkin old friend. I will try to honestly assess whether I'm encouraging him to spin those plates.
