At work, we were comparing Christmas presents.  When my turn came around, I proudly declared that I received a really nice hoodie.  What makes it extra special is that Charlene dislikes it when I wear hoodies, so her purchasing me one really something.  She knows that I like wearing them, so she made a sacrifice and bought me one.  My heart melted.  I continued on to detail that it was blue, warm, and made of an exercise shirt type fabric…

That’s when my co-workers stopped me and with sad looks in their eyes informed me that the hoodie was actually Charlene’s attempt to get me to workout more.  Ugh.  Well played, my dear.

Although, come to think of it, I did get a hoodie out of the deal, so that qualifies as a win for Dave.  Plus, if I go to the gym.  Then if I go again.  If I keep going to the gym, this would mean the possibility for more hoodies in my future.  That would be worth it.  Again, well played my dear.  Well played.
