One-upping one's spouse....
If you haven't yet read my latest FFF Report, scroll back and read that first.
Soooo.... Paul walks into the gatehouse to take lunch with me. He stands in the middle of the room looking, puzzled, at the empty space where the roses and teapot lay earlier.
"Where are your, er, the flowers?" he slipped (and I caught the slip).
"The flowers and bag that were here? Mrs. O___ stopped by a little while ago asking if anyone had left anything for her. There wasn't a tag on them, but I figured that's what she was talking about...."
"OH NO! You gave her your flowers?!"
I swear I will never, ever forget the look of utter shock on his face. I think that was about the best "I gotcha" ever. Absolutely priceless!
