My Valentine Gift

A singing lobster,*
‘Commando’ graphic novels,
Skelton T-shirts:
All presents she has asked for;
Wonder what she wants this year…

*animatronics, not living, LOL

This was cute, imagining all these fun teenage gifts. So what DId you get her this year?? I am the kind of person who loves singing toys. I get one every Xmas for my collection! I will never grow up. Congrats on your win, Jack.

You and Sue belong together! :) I would really like to see the singing lobster. These may seem like strange gifts to some people, but I would have asked for fishing gear to get that lobster. Wishing you success in the contest! Love, Carolyn

Never saw the singing lobster, but I do remember the fish singing "Take Me to the River". Your wife sounds like a fun lady! Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Rhonda
