Hubby and I were chatting late late into the night last evening. We were counting ourselves among the lucky without too many wants for Christmas…ummm I mean besides the obvious complete home makeover and exotic tropical vacation for two. In all seriousness. The kids are alright.
So what do you get for the couple who already have all they desire? Hubby thinks a “coupon book” is a good idea. I can play this game! My book would have coupons for a sleep in and breakfast in bed, one free vacuum with no bitching, a date night in front of the fire planned by him, a love letter written on PAPER and a back rub with no strings. Done.
Now it’s his turn. This my friends is where the wheels fall off. In a mans world the coupon book looks something like this…. “Sex” “Sex” “Sex in this room” “Sex in that room” “You in my T-shirt” uhhh other things around sex that I am just not going to embarrass myself with by putting in print. Huh? Apparently 40 year old men really don’t need pretty ribbons and bows, thoughtful gestures and hugs, they just need to get it on? For a man…nothing says Merry Christmas like sex. Sigh.
Guess this is what is going on in the Suburbs.
FYI Hubby is not getting a coupon book.
I’m going to Wal-Mart.
Happy Holidays!
Linky Love For my Canadian Friends! Don’t miss my great giveaway for 2 family friendly and fab games. Ends Thursday!
Oh this post is so funny because my husband is the same and I figured out the one simple fact about men when they become teens life is about getting sex and having sex, then fast forward 50 years and that’s still all their thinking about. Men summed up !!!!!!
P.S wait tell he hits his 50’s …i like your coupon book!
Oh honey, if you think it’s bad at 40 just wait until he’s 57. Animals! 🙂
Hilarious – I read your post to my DD – he doesn’t get it!!!
you never fails to make me laugh! sooo right. i want your coupons though:-) Merry Christmas!
mmmm; Sex 🙂 Is it bad that you’re husbands coupon book looks similar to the one I’d dream of getting? I love sex, & an average of 5 days a week just doesn’t cut it. Since I usually end up picking my own present anyway I wonder if I could make this for him to give to me? Let’s test it out- I’m going to find my craft supplies now.

That is so funny and so typical!
Have a Merry Christmas and I hope he likes his Walmart presents.
Oh, i’m glad my husband isn’t the only one who has a list like this!
I found your blog through Mom Bloggers! 🙂
Have a Merry Christmas!
