Omg, that is SOOO funny!!! I'm giggling out loud like an idiot right now just thinking about it! Thanks so much for the laugh! I'm going to show it to dh tonight and see if he thinks it's funny (my guess is not!)
My partner's response: "Dear, are you hinting at wanting more towels? And that assured mutual destruction i.e. 5ft chickens, are the result if I don't agree? "
But he's wrong, it's not mutual destruction, in no way is that cutting off nose to spite face! It's just, you know, a great anniversary gift. Wonder if it comes encrusted with gems too...
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I don't find it that hilarious, I just don't like anything that is even suggestive of passive-agressiveness. But if she wanted to buy a chicken, she should buy a chicken.
Part Gypsy - if you read her blog for a while, you'll find out that she has a tendency to just buy random animals. Normally taxidermied, but apparently sometimes metal (for example, Beyonce ends up with a metal flying pig on her head). So this wasn't passive aggressive so much as par for the course in terms of random animal-buying, and it not being towels was more of a way to justify the purchase and not nearly as passive aggressive as it seems. Pinky swear.
(I may or may not have been reading her blog for the past few days. It's amazing.)
Maybe I'm too serious but That blog just makes me sad. I'm sure she's over exaggerating for entertainment purposes, but even if there is a hint of truth to it, sounds like they could use some couples' counseling.
Meh. Whatever actually happened or was said, I lost my enthusiasm for a good laugh after reading the part about the husband threatening to strangle his wife.
