Careful what you ask for

Her ‘best friend’ from college was visiting (perhaps only women will understand how much meaning those single quotes contain). The house was cleaned. The 300 count Egyptian cotton sheets were brought out. The air was heavy with the fragrance of fresh lilies. The children looked their doll like best and her husband’s nose and ears were carefully pruned. “Remember to be very romantic when she’s around” she instructed her husband. Her friend came.
And left with her husband in tow. “You’re the one who told me to be romantic” he reminded her.

hahaha... I liked the ears and nose pruning bit :D And the sting in the tail! She shd've specified whom he was to be romantic with, right?

Originality is over-rated, anyway. Never mind. and never mind, me. Me.

true, though, how women like hubbies to be suitably "spruced up" for company...
