PHOTO PROMPT – © Ted Strutz
“A toilet!”
“Isn’t she beautiful?”
“You bought a toilet for my birthday.”
“Not just any toilet, it’s vintage.”
“You bought me an old, used toilet.”
“But it’ll be worth a bomb in a few years.”
“It’s worth a bomb now, wait while I call the Ministry of Defence.”
“It’s got flowers in.”
“Flowers? What else are you going to put in it…No, don’t answer that.”
“I’ll take it back if you don’t like it.”
“I’ll tell you what’s also in the toilet, our marriage!”
Alison stormed off.
‘She’s tired,’ he thought. ‘She’ll think differently when she’s had a good sleep.’

Nope, I’m with Louise on this. I think he might have just pulled the chain on his relationship. 🙂

Must be a newly-wed. Takes about two years to learn not to buy pots, pans, or electrical appliances. 😆

I have a feeling she’s not changing her mind…I bet she packs her bag before she goes to sleep.

This does look like the last straw but he’s too stupid to see it. Thanks for reading.

I think he had the right idea. A few years ago I attended an opening at the Philadelphia Art Museum called “Dancing With the Bride.” The exit room was filled with dirty urinals. It was supposedly high art.

I don’t see his lackluster gift as grounds for a divorce. Clearly she must have known he was a bit dense when she married him. She may have even found it charming at some point. He was just trying to be nice. Poor guy.

With tongue firmly in cheek, Adam took the contrary view and found sympathy where no one else had managed to. 🙂

Next time he should just get her a vacuum cleaner or maybe a mop. If there is a next time.
