Tiffany & the Little Traitor

Baby's been crying quite a bit lately. He's somehow grown accustomed to the idea of being picked up and cradled. We can always tell from his fake-ish cries. :)

Usually, we pick him up. But in the mornings when we're busy getting ready for work, we just include him into our conversations - just to give him the assurance that we're around. Today was one such day.

"Honey, you know what?" Mae giggled like a schoolgirl. Somehow, I knew I was in trouble. She continued, "Since you still owe me my Birthday present, I thought you could get me something for my Birthday and Christmas."

Uh-oh. I waited for the axe to fall. And fall it did. "Something from Tiffany's!" she laughed. Awww maaaan!!!!

I could have married some old-fashioned girl from the village who would have loved me even if I gave her a wooden-beaded necklace. But no. I had to have me one of those modern women. Yes, the ones on their steady diet of Cosmo and Sex & The City. The ones who knew Tiffany. What is it with women and Tiffany's anyway?

In desperation, I turned to our little crying boy. "Jesse, should daddy buy mommy a Tiffany?" I asked. "If you think so, stop crying now."

And would you believe it, just like that the little traitor stopped crying. He just gurgled and cooed and smiled one of his sweetest little smiles. Immediately Mae stopped everything she was doing, picked him up and cradled him close to her. "Mommy loves you the most!" And he just cooed away as he basked in his mother's affection.

Turncoat! And to think I bathed him this morning. *sigh*

  9. Yeah, Ian does that too, bullying us all into carrying him. Bah. And after six months, he'd start wanting to crawl around. Sigh...

  16. heheh, lil' jesse is only a few weeks old and already he's building alliances - you've been watching Survivor with him, haven't you? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  17. woohoo jesse! haha... james you "sangkut" lah. every girl wants a little blue box from tiffany and with baby agreeing... well i see you making a trip to klcc soon ;)

  18. Yeah, Norzu. Looks like the kid knows which side his bread is buttered. :)
    I hope not, Emma. Cos if old Sigmund was right, then Baby would want me dead! *brrrr*
    Hahhah, Chi. Nope. Sorry, you'll have to make your own!!! :lol:
    Heh Andrea. That depends on which way you look at it!
    Welcome back AlvinK. Hopefully you're right. Then mommy will pay!!!
    So me, Mei? :lol: I dunno...
    Hahhah Hyelbaine, like the saying, "The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world!"
    Look at the bright side Strizzt. When he's crawling at least he won't need to be carried. :) Besides, carrying a 6-month-old can be exhausting!
    No fair, Pickyin. This is a female conspiracy!!!
    No, D_Ikeika. Cute is when HIS kid does that to him someday!!! :lol:
    Buaya, when will we men learn never to "owe" our wives a present!!?!
    Hey, village girls just want love, Raina!!! :lol:
    Hehh, Cherry, the boy better learn, so he can learn how to avoid the shop!!
    Not you too, BabeKL!! :)
    Too fast, Olivia!
    Looks like I'll have to sacrifice my Survivor viewing, Sashi. It's for my own survival. :lol:
    As I said, depends on how you look at it, Annushia! :)
    So, that's where it's at, CC!!! See... I'm completely clueless. :P

  23. Hey James,
    Need some assistance. Wife and I considering switching to DSH. Could you give us an indication of cost when Mae delivered there? I can be reached at obtyuse@yahoo.co.uk if sensitive info.
    Tried mailing you but can't seem to get it through.

  24. You are just plain bad! I was tempted to check the Tiffany site *drool* not good for an expectant mum just about to deliver the son- prices not even displayed... I would love him forever though- don't I deserve that eternity ring?! *drool*drool*

    Mdmafia, I will never doubt that every woman deserves a Tiffany (unless I've got a death wish) :lol:
