Pretty in Pink

I finally got my house keys today.

With the last night's unfortunate events still fresh in my mind, I told the boyfriend in no uncertain terms that it was time for me to get my own set of house keys. I was positive that sending texts to him through the day regarding the matter was sure to make it happen sooner rather than later since every good man loves a nagging girlfriend.

When he picked me up this afternoon, the first thing out of my mouth was, "Babe, do you wanna go to Home Depot?"

"...Not really, why? What's at Home Depot?"

I stared at him. Could he seriously be so brazen and male to genuinely forget that I was locked out of the house for FOUR HOURS last night which resulted in me getting hit on by eStalkers and Old Stoner Men with Handlebar Mustaches? I wanted to remind him of all this unpleasantness but instead said, "Keys Babe. Keys."

"What keys?"

Somewhere deep inside my brain, a little voice said his full name. I, however, did not. I managed to squeak out, "House keys, Babe" instead of totally losing my shit right there in the car since we had just talked about it before I left for work not to mention the half dozen text messages I had sent him during the day.

"Oh! Right. Wait. You mean THEEESE keys?" And he proudly unveiled a set of pink keys set with rhinestones with the word "Princess" written across them with a matching key chain.

I squealed like a little girl and made a dive for them. Only my amazing Boyfriend would know me so well as to get me keys in my most favorite of colors with shiny little baubles on them that will distract me at a moments notice.

It's also a good tactic to get me to shut up whenever I get really annoying.

I asked him to tell me the story of getting me pink keys.

He told me about going to Home Depot and the different patterns that the keys were available in. He told me that he picked out my keys and the guy behind the counter looked at him and said, "Really? You don't look like a princess."

He replied, "Listen Buddy, what I do in my own personal time is my business."

My Boyfriend invents brands of awesome.
