Liar

This Kellan, my love. He likes Batman. He looks pretty hot here too I might add. You probably didn't need me to mention that, but Its true.

Kellan is not a sneaky guy. He can't lie or keep a secret to save his life. This is the guy who won a game of B.S. without ever B.S.ing (does that make any sense?). This is the guy who blew my engagement ring secret.

He had secretly picked out my ring and put it on layaway. We were already engaged so I teased him- OK, I badgered him- about whether or not I would get my engagement ring while we were still engaged. I really didn't know what he had already done, and had no idea the torture I was putting him through. Kellan, unable to bear it spilled the beans and told me.

So a few days ago when he told me he had bought a book he needed for work and to expect it in the mail, I believed him.

Today the package came. Since I knew what it was I figured I might as well open it. So I did, expecting some HR leadership kind of thing. I slid the book out of the envelope and turning it over saw the title, Summer of the Monkeys.

Huh? What the... ?

Then the realization hit me. Oh my gosh, he got me. He actually got me! That sly dog. He actually surprised me! He actually lied! And I believed him!

I couldn't wipe the goofy grin off my face for at least 20 min. There may have been some giddy laughter too.

Because I love that book. One of my favorite childhood memories is of my Mom reading it to us outloud every evening.

I love it. I love the liar I'm married to too.
