“Things Mama Likes”
Posted by KimMay 11
Just ahead of Mother’s Day, Fred took the boys out to dinner to decide on a gift for me (YES! MAJOR POINTS FOR HIM!). As they ate, he asked them to think of things I like, and he wrote them down as they rattled them off. He said he started to filter what they were saying but then thought better of it and just wrote it all, so I could see the list and enjoy it later.
He was right. I got as much enjoyment out of the list as I did out of the actual gifts (a cappucino maker and some coffee – Guatemalan, of course!):
Gonna have to go with “Windex” as my personal favorite. What?!

So… about that Windex… are you perchance Greek? I only ask because my brother-in-law is Greek. And it seems a love of Windex is high on the list of loves.

I hadn’t realized how much napkins meant to you. Can I use this list as a go-to item for your birthday present later? I see lots of things in my price range!

@Tonggu Momma – while ours DID resemble “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” (mine was the quiet, reserved side of that family tree, for the record), no, I’m Scotch-Irish. Nary a Greek bone…
@Amy – just remember that your b’day isn’t so long after mine that I’ll forget what you got me!

Not a coincidence that I like school meetings too…in fact, aren’t we due for one?

Somehow I totally missed that you were such a fan of Video Games too…
And the fact that they listed “special coffee” makes me laugh, even if it isn’t the special coffee I’m thinking of… teehee.
