"So let me get this straight..." I started while looking warily at my husband. "I know we agreed that you went a little overboard with the gifts on Christmas, so I let you off the hook for worrying about doing anything for Valentine's Day, but are you actually suggesting that you think you're good for my birthday in May, our anniversary in June, and Christmas in 2010?"
"I'm not suggesting, I'm telling you that's the case," my husband replies. "I'm good until Valentine's Day, 2011."
Or so he thinks. Sure, it's great to hint at (or spell out, as the case may be) what I'm eyeing at a store and have him understand that he should buy it for me as a gift, even though it might be on the expensive side, but is that enough to let him off the hook for future holidays.
Apparently he thinks so. We'll see if this flies.
