Have you ever came up with a brilliant idea to outsmart your husband and thought "this will show him?" You haven't? Hmmm..well let me tell you what I did and then you can say "yes I have done that" and then I promise I won't look down on you.
It all started on the 29th of December when Lil Hoff decided that playing underneath our live Christmas Tree would be tons of fun and if he stood up and raised his little arms and waved them then all the needles came falling down like rain. So I quickly took the ornaments off and shipped it out side on our front porch. Which that part is not unusual, it usually is up to me to take the tree down and take it outside and then Farmboy will haul the tree away.
Fast forward to January 17th and the tree is still sitting on my front porch (this is where my brilliant idea comes in). I came home and got mad (after of course many, many, many, many friendly reminders of that tree) but instead of letting it build up and fury coming out when he walked through the door, I took the less settle approach. I pulled the the tree closer to where he parks and plugged it back in with our Christmas lights (which are still on the house). In MY mind I thought he would come home and go "Wow, I can't believe I have let that tree sit there that long, the fact that my wife has moved it closer so I would see it must mean she wants me to haul it away". But no, MY husband comes in and says "I love that you plugged the tree in, it made me smile when I pulled up" Oh geez. So as of January 20th the tree still sits on our front porch with Christmas lights displaying proudly. So if you are in my neck of the woods and see a Charlie Brown Tree dying a slow death with brilliant lights twinkling and Christmas lights still glistening on the house please don't think of us as rednecks as much as a dysfunctional husband and wife.Many Thanks
