Didn't happen
So last night was our first Christmas and after dinner with the family we went back to her place to exchange gifts. in the corner was a long slender package standing about 5' tall and had my name on it. i'm thinking BAM! new rod! She waited till the end to give me that one i was excited like the kid Ralphie from Christmas story. I couldn't wait, i ripped open this package as if i was a 5 year old remembering first Christmas paper flying everywhere, only to find a extend-able freaking ice scraper from Benny's.
With the look of disappointment on my face the ol'lady looks at me and says aren't you curious what i returned.
I replied "well kind of " she said well i went to Bass Pro shop and bought you some things but you bought them already so i had to return them.
i asked her what kind of things. She said well you bought that fishing rod, the one you dropped off to have fixed or something, so i returned the one i got you.
Here is where i made the mistake i asked the question i should not have asked.
What rod did you buy and return.
She said you know the one with the black handle that has the kind of crizzy twisty wrap thinggy where the reel goes, you know the one you look at every time you go to Bass Pro. I figured you bought that other rod and didn't need another one. :smash:
I responded with - was it the one in the second isle 5' down on the left and was above everything else about 8 rods from the left? She responded with - why yes you know the one you like, you are practice casting with. :yak4:
i looked at her with discontent and said was it the St.Croix Mojo surf 2 piece 10'.6" rod with Fuji Guides.
She chipperly respondes and says YES THAT IS THE ONE!.
I look at her and said that's ok hun it the thought that counts thanks for the alarm clock, extend-able ice scraper and sweat shirts.:wall:
so remember its not the gift its the thought that counts. :deadhorse:
