Two mornings ago, I asked the boys what they wanted to get Daddy for his birthday (I didn't plan ahead very well). Nathan ignored me but Jack said he wanted to get Daddy some blue boots, because blue is Daddy's favorite color. I confess that I didn't know blue was his favorite color, nor that he needed boots. But whatever. I found it charming and funny.
I called Byron on my way to work that morning and told him the story. He found it charming and funny as well. No, he didn't need any boots. Blue was okay, but he wasn't crazy about having a pair of boots in that color.
Then I repeated the tale to a friend of mine at work.
To my amazement and glee, she said, "I know where you can get him some blue boots." Apparently, at the tractor supply store, they sell this kind of thing all the time, things that city girls like me never see at Target. So she got me a pair of blue boots to give my husband tonight.
I'm writing this up now because I know there is about a 0.0009% chance that Byron will read my blog before I give him his birthday gifts tonight. And it's just too funny to wait. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HIS FACE WHEN HE OPENS HIS NEW BLUE BOOTS.
And believe me, he will wear them.

You need to post an update with pics. Did you get him a line dancing CD and a big belt buckle too?
why didn't he wear the boots last night?
I think I need to post a follow-up to this one. LOL. The boots were a big hit. They were RAIN boots rather than cowboy boots, which was what most people thought they were. And just a shade too small.
The best part was that Jack told me they were not the right color blue. Apparently he was picturing more of a turquoise than a navy. Hah.
