The Gift

When you've been in a relationship with the same person for like forever, you find that you become less sappy as the years pass by. Sure, stuffed toys, flowers and boxes of chocolates are cute during the courtship stage. But time will come when you'll find yourself appreciating the weirdest tokens of affection the most.

Case in point:
A few days ago, I sustained blisters on my fingers after manually washing my dirty clothes. We still don't have a washing machine at home, that's why. It was very painful afterwards, and I called my Curly Top's attention to this. I was actually just exaggerating how painful my fingers were so that he'd take pity on me and hopefully buy me a washing machine! 
We were doing our weekly grocery shopping this morning, and I didn't notice that he slipped an item into the shopping cart. When we got home, he presented me with a very thoughtful gift:

This made me smile...

My new pink latex gloves really made my day! I can't wait to do my laundry this week, it's going to be fun and blister-free!
