shortly after tommy got home from work the other day, i went down to the laundry room to pull clothes from the dryer. when i returned, tommy came out of the bedroom and told me to quickly go in and look at misty. when i walked in, all i could see was her head peeking through from under the pillow.
“the pillow fell on top of her and she didn’t even move,” he laughed.
i thought to myself, how mean – why didn’t he move the pillow!? i laughed as i pushed the pillow out of the way. for a moment the green box looked like junk mail. why is there junk mail on the cat? why did he put junk mail on her? what is wrong with him? it took a split second to realize that it wasn’t junk, but an ipod shuffle, the very treasured trinket i’ve been saving up for over the last few months. my sweet husband bought it for me with the money he earned from working overtime. what i love about this surprise is that he actually went through the trouble of placing it on the cat, then covering her up with a pillow, hoping she wouldn’t move until i would find it. dear, old misty and her inability to avoid participating – she didn’t/couldn’t/wouldn’t move a bit, not even when i reenacted the setup so i could get it on camera. later on, tommy told me the different ways he had considered hiding the ipod – putting it in my pillow case, putting it under the pillow, or putting it under the sheets, so that, as quoted, “you would find it in the middle of the night”.
my husband knows exactly how to charm me and make me laugh really, really hard. this one got me real good.
