The Watch Band

My hubby got to open one of his Christmas presents from me this morning, but I wasn't planning on giving it to him early. He needed a new watch band badly, so I bought him one a couple weeks ago. This morning the following dialog occurred just as Andrew was about to leave for work...

Andrew: Are you going to Wal-Mart today?
Me: No, I'm not planning on it.
Andrew: Well, that's okay. I may stop by one while I'm out.
Me: Why, what do you need?
Andrew: I thought I'd get a new watch band.
Me: *panicking*
Me: Uh, no, don't do that.
Andrew: Why not?
Me: *unable to think of a good excuse*
Me: Just don't!
Andrew: *puzzled*
Andrew: Um, okaaaay.
Me: Arrrr!
Andrew:
Me: *laughing and frustrated that he knew what I got him*
Me: Hmph. Okay, do you have a moment?
Andrew: Well, I'm late for work already, so sure.
Me: *retrieves a small package from under the tree*
Andrew: *chuckling*
Me: I bet you can't guess what's in here.

The package was unwrapped, the watch band tried on and found to be a perfect fit, and Andrew was walking toward the door again.

Andrew: *teasing grin*
Andrew: Hmmm... I think I'll buy a MacBook today.
Me: lol. Go ahead! I didn't get you one of those!

Annoying - That's what happens sometime. You two remind me of Sharon and Terry enjoying the surprises and secrecy of Christmas...fun isn't it?! Are you going to get up at 4am on Christmas morning like Sharon and Terry do sometimes?

Aw...I hate when they find out things like that. I told Ryan he should never buy himself anything near Christmas just because of that reason. At least you still had a good time! Love ya, Jess
