No, no! Nobody gave Simone a mouse!
The classic by Maurice Sendak is a favourite at Simone's house, so when the 20 year old called last year to let Simone know that a movie had been made based on the movie, she knew she'd have to see the movie. She even shed a few tears watching the preview, for crying out loud!
But one thing being the precursor to another and life being inescapably busy, Simone did not, after all, get to see the movie. In fact, she completely forgot about it.
"I have a surprise for you," the best hubby in the world texted Simone. And he sent her a picture of a gift bag.
"Lots of emotions in that bag," he wrote. "But I did include a recovery plan, two part in fact!"
Thoroughly puzzled, Simone anxiously awaited hubby's arrival to see what the gift was about. Simone LOVES surprises!
Slowly, she removed the paper from the bag to discover a card from hubby, professing his love for her. Then she found a copy of the DVD, "Where the Wild Things Are".
Sure enough, her eyes developed an unexplained leakage problem...
"Keep looking," encouraged hubby. "The recovery plan is still in there!"
Inside the bag, hidden under more paper, were a box of extra soft kleenex and a bag of chocolate eggs. That man is the best (and makes every other husband out there look bad!)!

I'm saying that because it's true.
And you're welcome.
