  - reading between the lines ( and I could be wrong) I think he wanted permission to tell his 13 y/o she don't know what she's talkin about -- nm - Epiphany Feb 14, 12:20 1
    - This gets better and better. Next, when the wife is not impressed he can throw it back in her face. - Spawn Feb 14, 12:22
  - This -- nm - con_carne Feb 14, 12:14
- *Hand cream* UGH. Do not get gift advice from a 13 year old. -- nm - Amy Feb 14, 12:13
- You totally owe your wife a new car now, sucker. -- nm - Max Feb 14, 12:12
- after 26 years, he should know. Its not the 1st 5 years right? - I'd friggin jump up and down for something like this - Epiphany Feb 14, 12:12 1
