Oh man, Women!
Serously, if they forgot our birthdays, oh well, make it on Saturday or something.
I doubt flowers will get you out of the doghouse on this one.
This may actuly call for subterfuge (in order to not have it pop back up for the next 20 years endlessly)
Ok, you tell her, you were reading an online article about "Relationships", because thats what you do a lot when she's gone.<--(dangle the bait)
and one of the things the article had was a test <--(women love these self test articles, but this one was just a test, not a self test)
The test was to see "How Strong Your Relationship Was", you were supposed to PRETEND to forget your PARTNERS<--(thats the kind of language they use in those articles)
birthday, and see what kind of reaction there was.
Were the reactions, Undertanding and Kindness, or just not caring at all<--(gives her something to think about)
Obviously there was Anger, and the article did not say that was one of them, so it's not your fault.
Its the fault of that "Stupid" Relationship Doctor out in California whose name you cannot remember,
and you sure will not be reading his stuff about "Relationships" anymore, because he doesn't know anything<-(Not Your Fault!)
But really you had a Quisinart food blender wraped up in happy birthday wraping paper hidden in the closet all along<--(thats a good one that ladies like and can brag to their freinds about).
The whole time you were just testing her, but NOW you know that was the wrong advice to have followed. <--(have that gift wrapped up in pretty paper when you give it to her)
oh yah, and Lots of Luck
