A Birthday Gift Gone Wrong

A Birthday Gift Gone Wrong

My husband gave me a shower gel for my birthday.

I didn’t show it to him, but I got really offended, because we had no money problems.

I checked that his company was okay, and we had enough money in our bank account so that he could buy me at least a bunch of flowers.

I looked closely at the gel, and he knew that I hated that fragrance. I ended up crying and poured the gel down the toilet.

My husband came home happy and said, “Did you find it?”

Turns out he’d put the ring in the bottle cap. He wanted to surprise me. So, he had to retrieve it from the toilet himself.
