(and lets be honest, 4 years of college experimentation took ALL the mystery out of THAT box, if yanno what I'm sayin')*
*I don't know what I'm saying
Anygirlsgonewild, yesterday, a box arrived at our doorstep.
That, in itself, isn't unusual. After all, it IS Christmas-time.
What was unusual about this box, after I took it inside and attempted to determine whether it might be one of my christmas gifts by shaking it vigorously, was the address:
In case you're having a hard time reading it, it was addressed to
JERICHO OR THE [INSERT LAST NAME HERE for those of you who didn't already figure it out when I stupidly posted my wedding invitation on this blog a few months ago] NOT SKITTLES.
Needless to say, I was perplexed. A package that is addressed to either my dog or both me and my husband, but not my cat?
What?!?
So I opened it.
And this is what was inside:
And I was all, "Ooh, look, a bonsai tree!" And Brian was all, "No, stupid it's a grape vine."
And he was right! It WAS a grapevine.
...which makes sense, in that Jericho is a highly sophisticated man who appreciates a good Chianti now and again, and Skittles is a manic, homicidal cat who likes to eat anything of the plant variety, even while knowing full well that she will throw it up (on my shoes) later.
Knowing that Brian and I are experienced and budding wine connoisseurs, respectively, my brother-in-law and his girlfriend got us a grape vine from California.
...in other words, the coolest gift EVER.
Now, I just need a name for him.
Any sueggstions?

How about Milo's Next Meal?
I like, "No, Stupid."
Short, sweet, and you'll always remember how you learned what it was.
And you can amuse yourself and Brian by announcing, "Honey, I'm going to go water No, Stupid, okay?"
I totally think you should name it Bonsai!
How do you know it is a male plant?
How about Merlot or something?
call it Miles.
i guess i'm stupid too. I also thought it was a bonzai tree at
1st glance
I can't get the first 3 lines of your post out of my head... on purpose
How about Seymour.
Then, when it produces grapes, you can say, "Feed Me, Seymour!"
Chester. Definitely Chester.
FUCKING HILARIOUS. I laughed out loud and scared Yukes. Now THAT's a Christmas gift!
