BF and I went out for a late, leisurely lunch on Saturday afternoon. I decided that I wanted to go to a restaurant well-known in some areas for their killer Chambord margaritas; this particular location happens to share a parking lot with a jewelry store. My plan was to casually suggest we visit this jewelry store as we leave the restaurant with a good margarita buzz.
However, the margaritas affected me more than they did him and the exchange that took place went a little something like this:
(Walking out throught the front door and directly facing the jewelry store)
Me: Let''s go to Jared''s and look at sparkly things!
Him: Let''s go to Petsmart and look at mice!
Me: Let''s go to Jared''s!
Him: Let''s go to Petsmart!
Me: (pouting) Fine.
Him: Do you want to go to Jared''s?
Me: No, because you don''t really want to go.
Him: Ok, let''s go look at mice!
One hour and $170 later, we walk out of Petsmart with 2 fancy rats, a cage, bedding, food, and toys to prevent boredom.
Next time, I''ll just have to make sure he has more to drink than I do so that I can maintain control over the situation.
I love these rats, I just can''t wear them on my finger!
Yesterday we''re watching TV and a Jared''s commercial comes on. The lady opened a box with a gold bracelet in it. I turned to him and said, "See? She didn''t get a rat!" And we both had a good giggle over it.
Last night I walked up to find him emailing somebody and asked, "Whatcha doin''?" He responded that he was emailing a friend from college. He has nothing to hide, so he lets me read the email which has "Almost engaged" in the subject line (!!!) and he''s going on and on to this friend about me and how happy we are. He says, "I told her we''re getting engaged this year," and I laugh and say, "Yeah, if I ever get you drunk enough to take me ring shopping!"
Anyway, sorry for the long post, I just thought it was a funny example on how plans can sometimes backfire when one tries to be manipulative!
