Sticks & Stones

So, my dear sister is celebrating her 5th wedding anniversary this weekend. She tells me that a traditional anniversary gift for year number 5 is "wood". Of course, I cackled at the thought of "wood". She rolled her eyes and sighed at my immaturity, then tells me about some wooden thing that she bought for him. I tuned her out because I was too busy thinking of all the 'wood' references she could make.

So, when she's done telling me about the fabulous wooden gift she'd found for her husband, a docking station or a totem pole, or what have you, I ask her what he's going to get for her. "What else" she tells me, "wood". Ha ha ha.. To which I reply, "sounds like you got the short end of the stick".

I shall reference my short- end- of- the- stick joke every day until it gets old. Which it won't. It was....the perfect one-liner.

(picture me taking a theatrical bow).
