I Don't Need Flowers

Last night on the way home from a movie, I told my DH he did not need to send me flowers for Valentine's Day. In fact, I didn't even want them. "Do you want more orchids [plants] like I gave you for Christmas?" "No. I want a soup spoon." "A soup spoon?" "A sterling silver gumbo soup spoon." "Why gumbo?" I explained to him why I had chosen the gumbo style over the cream soup, bullion, or place soup spoon. "Well, why not a set?"

He has always been a very thoughtful and generous gift giver, however, given the price of one soup spoon I would let him find out, on his own, I had upped the ante and be happy I only wanted one - at a time. And, he wasn't going to be able to find them at Sams or Costco.
