Ring…..Ring….. Ring..
Good Afternoon, Geraldine’s Florist.
– Hello, is Geraldine there?
This is Geraldine.
– HI. My name is Chris and I think you know my wife Katie.
OH yes…. I love her! She is just the sweetest person ever. I was just talking to her about you and how you haven’t sent her flowers in a while. She told me to expect a call from you. Haha….. just kidding.
– I wouldn’t put it past her to do something like that. But it has been a while since I sent her flowers and she begged hinted that I better do something about that earlier this week. And… Well…. today she sent me a message at work saying “FYI – My flowers haven’t been delivered yet”.
(giggle, giggle)
– The good thing is that its late on Friday, and now she definitely isn’t expecting them. Which is why I’m calling. I know your probably really busy with the Jewish holiday, but is there any way you can make something up for Kate and get it to her by the end of the day.? If you can’t I totally understand.
Haha, well its a good thing I was already counting on delivering her something today I think we can make that happen.
– Oh thats great!
Katie already had a bouquet made for her What were you thinking of sending her.?
– Something really nice, maybe yellow, but NO carnations. And make the card say,
“Kate, thanks for always knowing how to make me laugh, I love you – Chris”
That sounds great, we will get this to her by the end of the day.
– Thanks so much Geraldine!! You saved me from an angry wife and an angry mob of thousands of bloggers. 🙂 Have a great weekend!
-end of call –
Calling…
Hi Katie, this is Geraldine. He finally called me to “order” the flowers so you can take them home now. 🙂

Don’t you feel so comfortable and safe when women tell you what you should do to make them happy? We make it so easy for you!!

You are a good sport Chris and we all love a man who knows to take a hint. 🙂
Katie's Grandma
What a sneaky granddaughter I have AND what a GREAT
grand-son-in-law I have!
Kristin
Oh Chris, you are a good sport. I’m sure you made her day, no matter how it all went down! 🙂
Chris
Thats totally how I look at it. Now if I could just use that same method to get things I want… Hmmm. Does it work both ways? I will keep you posted on that. 🙂
andrea
i’m sure that katie’s card would say the same thing if she were to send you flowers too 🙂 thanks for the new blog chris! keep ’em coming!
and if you are feeling extra generous and would like to send flowers to another chick, whom you have never met, i’ll send you my address, i’ll even take the carnations left out of katie’s bouquet!
Jackie
LOL. It’s about time you had another post. I’m not sure whose funnier, you or Kate. You guys are great. Love you both.
Ashley

TeamHaynes
Dang. I was looking forward to joining the angry group of bloggers! No, jk! Good job!
Chris
Well I’m not going to promise anything, but i’m sure you will have your chance one day. 🙂
Morgan
Thats true actually, not many wives have the power to send hundreds of angry bloggers after him if he does not behave.
Chris
Yeah… a very scary scenario. Ha that rhymed. 🙂
Danielle Melnyczenko
Chris, you’re a legend.
Emily
Good job, Chris!! Can I give you my husband’s phone number? Maybe you could explain how this flower sending business works because he can’t take a hint! 🙂
Chris
Haha… No Problem!
Holly Decker
you dont know how good you have it Chris.
the card shouldve said, “Thanks for being the wife that every man wishes they had”… because my husband freakin’ loved the way she did this for herself and gave you credit.
naomi
AHAHAHAH!! Seriously BEST. IDEA. EVER.
I am soooo going to try and pull this off with my husband.
Tressa
You two are hilarious! Never a boring moment around you three, I’m sure!! Way to be a GREAT husband! 🙂
