Long-time readers will remember the column I “lifted” from The Blogess entitled “Knock-knock, Motherfucker.” Her 16th wedding anniversary was fast approaching and well, I’ll let her tell it:
Today is mine and Victor’s 16th anniversary, which is sort of insane. You might remember last year, when I declared 15 year anniversaries should be marked with unexpected giant metal chickens at the door.
This year I had to outdo Beyonce (the giant metal chicken, not the singer. I try not to compete with her) so I’ve been searching for something similarly unexpected to come knocking at the door. I considered buying a giant metal egg because then when people asked “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” I could definitively say “The chicken” but it just didn’t seem BIG enough. Then, after weeks of searching, I finally found the perfect thing.
Victor pretty much begged me to not get him anything because I think he was still trying to forgive me for last year, but then I finally convinced him that it was something awesome and so when the doorbell finally rang I screamed “OMG SHE’S HERE” and Victor was all “‘She?’ You got me a stripper?” and I glared at him because that’s the first place his head went, and then I went to answer the door and get his anniversary present.
I was on her blog and she has had a book published.
Clicked over to Amazon and it is getting great reviews.
The knock knock column was republished in either Women’s Day
or Family Circle this past spring but soo very sanitized.
Yeah, read the mag article and thought the same thing. Also read her book – she’s got some strange stories growing up. Which pretty much explains the posts! Check your library.
I LOVED that chicken! I remember laughing so hard at that! The sloth is cool though too. I can’t fathom what my husband would do with that! Our anniversary is August… how do you top a sloth!?
And I just ordered the book at the library… sounds like my humor!
