WHOA boy!!!  Massive foppa.

There are THREE annual events that should NEVER and I mean EVER be overlooked no matter how many times your Wife, Girlfriend, or whatever you'd like to label them tell you that it's ok if you do:

1. Birthdays

2. Annaversaries

3. Valentines Day

They may tell you, "don't get me anything" or, "Oh...it's not special", but TRUST ME!  IT IS!

I knew for weeks that it was April's Birthday.  But for some ungodly act of stupidity, I forgot to wish it to her FIRST THING this morning.

Hell, she left to go to Napa (hour and change away) to get her hair done and I'm just now out of the gym and I STILL haven't wished her a Happy Birthday!

No sooner am I sitting here planning out "Damage Control" (don't even need assessment) than a pal of mine Peter Ingelton sends me this parable WITH the moral of the story attached.

Enjoy:

"A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, who was looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off, he asked what she’d like as a gift. “I’d like to be eight again,” she replied, still looking in the mirror. On the morning of her birthday, he rose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her to Adventure World theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Roller Coaster, everything there was. Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. He then took her to a McDonald’s where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, with popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&Ms. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed, exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well dear, what was it like being eight again?" Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. "I meant my dress size, you idiot!!!!"

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong."
