I Was Wrong

A few weeks ago Davie-O threw me a surprise party for my 40th birthday. He spent months organizing this party, and received many compliments on his party throwing prowess. It really was spectacular, his level of detail. Well, at least for him anyway.

I was so proud of him! The party was at our dear friends Beth and Mark’s house, and Davie-O showed up with everything from foil and beverages to misters and a caterer. It was so great, in fact, that I was pretty sure the 20 year long Davie-O improvement project was finished. Really. He was THAT good.

And then I talked with him on the phone last night.

Davie-O let me know that he wouldn’t be calling the kids that evening, as he would be attending a work dinner at a colleague’s house. I reminded him to leave himself enough time to drop by the store and pick up a bottle of wine or a 6 pack of micro brew to take over. His reply?

“Why would I do that? He invited me over.”

Sigh.

Seriously?

I then explained the hostess gift. His response?

“Why would I do that?”

My work here, on the Davie-O project, not as close to done as I thought.
