Today is my husband's birthday. Yesterday I had to take my newly tonsil-free child back to the doctor because he decided to start bleeding. He is fine and insists that he did not 'decide' to bleed but that it just happened but he doesn't read this blog so I can say what I want.
Anyway, after our stop at the doctor we made a few stops before heading back home and becoming hermits again. My husband likes to read and Adam thought that we should get him some books as a gift since we hadn't had the time to get him anything with the surgery and recovery we had been dealing with this week. I agreed and we stopped. We looked at many books. I was looking for Stephen King books that were not in Roger's collection yet and Adam was finding books that were big and fat. I asked him why he was randomly picking books, I knew that there would be some reason to what seemed random to me. He explained to me that his dad has a lot of big books and that that was what he was gathering for us to get. Now, I know that "The Stand" has over a thousand pages but that is by an author that Roger likes, a large book that is about flower care or astrology would not be something that Roger would enjoy so I decided to do a little editing of my boy's choices on my husband's behalf.
Finally, Adam and I agreed on a really big book, it is about the Americans in the Korean War. I thought that the topic might appeal to Roger since he likes war documentaries and the sheer size of this book met Adam's requirements. I also grabbed a Stephen King book for good measure although it was not as big as the War book. I don't think that Adam was impressed with my selection but he said nothing, he only shrugged his shoulders and continued on.
A party size bag of peanut M&M's was also on Adam's list of "stuff dad likes" so we grabbed a bag of those as well. Shopping is easier by myself.
Off the subject, Roger had a great-neice born today, on his 51st birthday. Welcome, Etta Maxine Hauenstein.
