Like you, I wanted to give the missus something special this year, to show her how much she means to me.
After careful consideration, I found just the right thing.
While she already had a toilet brush, I figured if she had a new one it would get the toilet alot cleaner with less scrubbing on her part, since she often complains about how hard she has to scrub in and around the toilet because I'm often drunk and tend to splash alot when I pee. This should make things alot easier for her.
Unfortunately, she hasn't had a chance to use it yet, as she said she was going to her mothers (I assumed she was going to borrow toilet bowl cleaner, as I forgot to include it) and hasn't been back since. If she doesn't return in the next day or two, I may have to call. The dishes are really piling up, and there arent any clean frying pans.
I'm beginning to wonder if she is upset that I forgot to include the bowl cleaner with it. In hindsight, that does seem a little insensitive.
