Thanks to Melissa Jagears for help with numbers three and seven. So, now I'm curious. What's the worst Valentine's gift you've ever gotten (or heard of)? Leave a comment below to share in the fun.
And if you haven't entered the giveaway for my coming novel yet, stop by this post to leave a comment. The contest ends tonight at midnight.
One year, after hearing my Mom say that she needed a scale in the house to check her weight, my Dad presented her with a scale for Valentine's Day. It did not end well. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh no, Tara!!! That's horrible, but really funny to hear about. :)
DeleteHahahaaaa! I don't get many so I don't have a worst, but my hubs, before we were married, got me some free weights for my birthday. lol
ReplyDeleteAt least that's not as bad as a scale, though it hardly wins the prize for most romantic. :)
DeleteLOL, The windshield wipers and hubcabs one is hilarious! My hubby usually goes pretty safe on Valentine's thankfully. Anything that implies I should be working is a no-go. :)
ReplyDeleteGood for your hubby! My hubby's not too bad either, except for the grill. I really did get a grill once, for Mother's Day.
DeleteMy worst V day gift? Our 2nd yr of marriage, I found out through the debit card bill that he'd preordered something from a floral shop. He admitted to ordering a bouquet, but thankfully I caught it before it got sent so hubby was able to go cancel the order. For some reason, the florist said that had never happened before.
ReplyDeleteYes, my anti-flower, anti-chocolate, anti-diamond friend. Some days I simply don't know what to do with you. It's kind of like you and your man have reversed roles. He's the sap, and your the practical one.
DeleteFor the record, I got my hubby a nice, solid wood picture frame that has a pewter image of a fish jumping out of a pond on the top. It looks classy but fits with his love of fishing. So I figured he'd put a picture of either him and his dad fishing or him and the boys fishing.
ReplyDeleteHe liked it, but when I told him what gift shop I bought it from, he said, "Oh, you know, they sell really nice handmade knives there. They're in a showcase at the back."
Sigh . . . At least I tried.
Thanks for the laughs. I can see that those gifts would have made some *interesting* memories. :D
ReplyDeleteInteresting is probably the kindest word you could put there!
