Re: My new boat!
OMG MRS! That is funny. Reminds me of a story about my dear Dad. Many years ago my Mom, who is a pastor, was teaching a lesson on marriage. Dad, my brother, and I were sitting towards the back of the class (we were just "monitoring" the class since we had been through it already) when Dad told us he had bought a used pontoon boat that day and was wondering how he was going to tell Mom.
About that time she was on the topic of communication and she called Dad up front for a little "ad lib" object lesson. She explained that they were going to demonstrate healthy communication at the end of the work day. Us kids were busting up laughing and Dad had a grin a mile wide when Mom said, "So honey, how was your day."
Dad's reply was, "Great, I bought a boat today." And he just grinned. Mom looked at him, realizing he was serious, said to the audience, "Well, maybe this wasn't such a good idea, excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom." And with that she grabbed Dad's hand and they walked off the stage, only to come back a couple minutes later, after everyone's laughter had subsided, to resume the lesson.
Dad came back to his seat laughing hysterically. He said to us, "Well, that went well, she couldn't kill me in front of these people, and if she kills me tonight there are plenty of witnesses of the probable cause!"
Story ended well and Mom enjoyed the Pontoon. No blood was shed. Good luck, MRS. Pick your time to tell her wisely!

and today she said I kind of like that one better than the other little boat that she would never get into so far so good. But after Christmas it should be ok I bought her a homer simpson Ghia head but I am going to drill holes in the ears and put Diamond earring studs in themd
