On the way she told me she saw them in a magazine and that they were only $20. Damn, 20 bucks? To keep bugs off flowers? Why not just buy new flowers?
Then she said she would really like to buy 3 of them. At $20 a pop? Yikes! How many flowers does she have hidden away?
In my sweetest, softest, most understanding tone of voice I asked, "HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FREAKIN' MIND! DID YOU FORGET TO TELL ME YOU WON THE LOTTERY?"
She gave me "the look". I checked the shine on my shoes and told her I would wait in the car while she went in and bought her flower holder thingy.
Turns out THIS is what she was talking about. And it was "flour", not "flower". She's not very articulate sometimes, you know?

You made several mistakes here, but I'm not about to pour salt into your wounds by pointing them out to you, and i have a feeling you already know what they are. Tell K the containers look smart and practical, and she's a genius for thinking of them.
ReplyDeleteEasy for you to say. You don't have your mouth wired shut. ;)

Yeah, but THREE how much baking does she do? Nevermind...looks like a terrific idea.
ReplyDeleteI often check the shine on my shoes as well.
Hahah! I have some that look like plastic water pitchers and are sized for a bag of flower or sugar. They seal up tightly as well which is the goal. No bugs in your flour!
ReplyDeleteYou are a nut - but I think I've told you this before (maybe several times before, I've lost count).
ReplyDeleteA couple of bay leaves will deter the bugs. Less than 20 bucks apiece. I'm just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteLet me give you a hint: a big container of flour next to a Kitchenaid machine holds the promise of cookies. Many cookies... you're a lucky man.
ReplyDeleteI too have had the pleasure of looking at my shoes to avoid the look.
ReplyDeleteYes the promise of cookies sounds like a plan.
Ha! Great one!
