I’ve been thinking of starting a school for guys. It would be called “Boyfriend School.” Husbands would be welcome, too. The only problem is that it might be the blind leading the blind! But the premise is interesting, don’t you think so?
In this lesson, Boyfriend takes Girlfriend out on a date, a special date, say on an anniversary or something. She says she has an errand at the mall, so he should first say, “Fun! Let’s go!” Then, while at the mall, she looks in a window and drools just a little out the side of her mouth. He should ignore the drool, and ask, “Would you like to go in?” She might say, “No, you wouldn’t want to do that.” At this, he should quickly respond with, “I would love to go in. I know how much you like it and it’s fun for me just to be with you!” He might even have to match a “Really?” with a “Really!”
She will walk around, thinking mysterious thoughts. He will wait patiently, smiling reassuringly when she occasionally glances his way. She will then say, “Okay, we can go now.” That is his cue to say, “No, take your time. I have nowhere I need to be except right here, right now, with you.” He might even take a deep breath and say, “Actually, I’m enjoying this. These purses are like little works of art!” She’ll smile, and even if she is thinking he’s full of shit, he will have hit the mark.
The rewards come later!
These purses are like little works of art???
Nice one Ferd.
I bet you got an A for best bullshit line 😉
Dawn,
How do you know this isn't just a theoretical situation, for instructional purposes?
; )
Bullshit or not, I loved it! : )
Princess!
You know me better than anyone!
You know I DO love shopping with you, purses, shoes, whatever! The mall, Home Depot, Lowe's, wherever!
It's always fun being with you!
You just described a typical shopping excursion with me and hubby! (Only, I don't drool, but have perfected a longing, droopy eyed look at items that I strongly desire). Obviously, he's taken your class and passed!
PS Ferd, I am now officially my very own #1 stuper (lest anyone had any doubts.) I've still been visiting your old blog and wondering, just how busy is Ferd these days? Obviously, I updated your new address on my blogroll in theory, not in reality. I'll get on it immediately!
You will never ever be your own stuper!
I'm the one who hasn't gotten the word out.
It's the same url, but since I migrated to wordPress, it's a different rss feed.
Thanks for updating!
I'm sure hubby can't resist that longing, droopy eyed look. I can picture him right now, pulling out his wallet! ; )
