So today in Target, I asked Wild Thing #1, my 8-year-old, what should we get Mrs. Snarky Basterd for her birthday?
Silverware, he says.
No way, dude, I say. You don’t get your mom silverware for her birthday; you have to get something for her.

Problem solved!
[I’m teaching you well, dude, and you’ll remember this one day. When you’re wondering what to get for your own girl.]
I hope the 8 year old boy doesn’t learn to think of his mom or a future girlfriend as Mrs. or Ms “Snarky Basterd”.
Whatever you get, surround it with chocolate, flowers and a card you wrote yourself.
Don’t tell me about old fashioned, don’t tell me how young she is, don’t tell me she doesn’t care about such things.
Just Do It.
Fer Crissakes...it’s a pseudonym. Open yer friggin’ mind!
As my husband says:
“If it’s for the kitchen, she’ll be bitchin’.”
and
“If you can plug it in, think again.”
Not always true for me, by the way...I really wanted (and got) a Kitchenaid mixer a few years ago...LOL! But, I really prefer jewelry and pajamas.
