Yesterday we had to stop for an errand in an unfamilar place. When we parked, we looked up and saw there was a soccer store nearby. Being the oh-so-kindly wife, I told Jon he could go browse in there while I did my errand. "Seriously?" he responded in the child-like glee which usually accompanies anything soccer related. "Seriously," I responded favorably, "maybe you'll find your Christmas present!" I wasn't completely serious...
I was still in the store contemplating my next purchase, when I look up and see my husband with the hugest grin on his face nearly skipping down the aisle toward me.
"So did you find something?" I asked knowingly.
In his usual sheepish way when he would like something but doesn't want to press me into anything he noted "well, they have a lot of jerseys at full price, however there is a whole rack of jerseys which are 50% off and.... (dramatic pause)... some of them are from FRANCE!" He went on to explain they were from the years and styles he likes (apparently they change every year) and, of course, once we finished my purchase, we visited the the soccer store.
Now, normally jerseys are pretty expensive, however the discount rack puts them in our price range. He tried on the jerseys he liked - they all fit - and then we even located some shin guards for $10 that he needs. So he showed me all of my options, then scurried out of the store to let me make my purchase secretly.
Now here, dear readers, is where I must leave you in suspense. You see, I may have bought one of the jerseys, or maybe even both of them, or potentially none of them and opted for a jersey from my favorite team, or even just purchased a bunch of socks to throw him off! Needless to say, Christmas morning will have a surprise!
(and, it's also one last errand I have to run)
