Today is my fourth wedding anniversary. Last year was a bit of a disaster. I was in York attending a meeting with my team. We had just sat down after a long day for a quiet pint and a meal. My phone started to ring. It was my wife. The first words out of her mouth were "Happy Anniversary". As you can imagine there was a deathly silence from me......brain trying, unsuccessfully to think of something to say.........my wife let me off the hook by saying that she had also forgotten and that next year we would make a better job of it. My team looked on aghast! They thought that my wife must be a reasonable person not to have given me hell for my oversight.
Three days ago, I ordered some flowers for my wife. I instructed them to deliver the flowers yesterday morning.......thereby giving my wife ample opportunity to at least get a card.
Last night we were talking about the flowers etc. She admitted that she had thought the flowers arriving meant that yesterday was our anniversary...........and then she dropped a bombshell. She further admitted that she really hoped that it was not our anniversary because she had two chocolate puddings in the fridge. The sell by date was the 25th.
Typical! I'm thinking "Lets make an effort". She is thinking "Shit, the chocolate puddings have reached their sell-by-date!!!???
