I can buy myself flowers

About ten years ago, I started the tradition where I pick out and purchase my birthday and Christmas gift from Clint and then he reimburses me.

Because why on earth would anyone want to receive a gift from their spouse, that they actually don’t like and then have to pretend for the rest of your life that you do like it?

I can’t be bothered. And trust me, he’s relieved.

Maybe some spouses are in tune with what the other likes, wants, needs, desires, but mine is not. I think I pick out good gifts for him but he’s just not a good gift picker outer.

So I do it myself.

I do also buy myself flowers. I’m not gonna sit around and whine or complain that I never get flowers. I do get flowers. To me, from me.

Apologies if this is a repeat lol but such a great action shot! This was probably about fifteen years ago.

  2. I wonder if ‘flower giving’ is an adaptation from our ancestors that meant male genes were more likely to be passed on, or women were more picky with their partner. Maybe! You’ve bypassed the system πŸ™‚
