Well it's about time he learned his place!
Yesterday, I (jokingly) told my husband that when I got returned from class in the evening, the house had better be spotless and smelling of fresh-baked apple pie.

When I got home, things were tidied up, the kids were in bed, and he had gone on the 'net, found a recipe, and baked a pie from SCRATCH.

This is going to cost me, somehow...
I know it...
:P

It was good pie, too!

4. I told him it was going down in the record books.
Bet he went to work today and bragged his ass off.
I was thoroughly impressed!

6. He occasionally surprises me.
If he's *really* smart, he will note the pattern that follows, in which I will likely do something very nice for him in the near future.
I am breathlessly hoping this behavior can become habit!

I was listening to NPR this morning and they're doing a week-long series on Jack Keroac's "On the Road" and to quote Jack....


"Pie is holy."

10. Well, a little.
But pie baking is such an unusual event for him, I'm certain I will have to come up with something *really* good, yet.

15. I'll bet you have a wonderful wife
the only way to get and keep a wonderful woman is to do wonderful things like that... without being asked.

Thoughtfulness goes a long way!

24. This reminds me of one of my favorite "Deep Thoughts":
"When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if not...mmmm, boy!"
--Jack Handey

Sounds like you and your hubby live in pie heaven.:)
