Careful What You Wish For

Most of my tens of readers know me well. Or as well as you can know someone on the interwebs through a blog that I can filter myself.

That said, I have a question for you. But first, a back story:

I currently have 1 brother-in-law, FratBoy. FratBoy is just as his name suggests, only 8 years later. Married (to my sister), one new boy (his 9-week-old clone), a passion for beer and golf, and a penchant for dirty humor. I’m learning more about this dirty humor as he starts to realize I’m not the goody-two-shoes he thought I was. Oh, silly, silly boy.

This being Happy Clausemas time, I sent my sister an email (like in all modern-day familial relationships) asking what she and FratBoy want for Clausemas.

This is the response I received from Jackie (edited to protect the innocent): “FratBoy says golf balls, ********* or a bottle of Crown Royal  – I want a gift card to Banana Republic, Ann Taylor Loft or Gap.”

Being the natural-born FratBoy that he is, he decided to say a little “shocking” gift idea to try to make me feel uncomfortable. One that I’d never think of, never buy, and never, ever gift to him.

Oh, little FratBoy, you are in for a suprise. Be careful for what you wish for.

Wouldn’t you, my little bloggy friends, love to know what that “shocking” gift is for my FratBoy brother-in-law? The one to open in front of my mother, father, mother-in-law, and all of our young children.

Would I? Will I?

OH YES I WILL.

Please, dear bloggy friends, let me know what you think I ordered (yup – already on its way) for a stocking stuffer for my FratBoy brother-in-law. He asked for it. I got it.

The winner will get your own special gift, if you’re so inclined. I’ll post the winner and a picture of the gift on Tuesday’s post.

Note: Jackie or FratBoy or HockeyMan – please don’t spoil the fun for everyone.
