Mother's Day is no surprise any more.....

[Janet M. Davies]

So I decided today to knit my Mum a new tea cozy for this Mother’s Day this coming Sunday. I ring Dad and tell him what I am going to do and ask him to measure the teapot . So he tells me the measurements as he measures it…. THEN I hear my Mum’s voice in the background!!…..
So I say: “Dad, is Mum home?”
Dad: “Yes.”
Me: “Why are you measuring the pot in front of her?”
Dad” “It does not matter.”
Me: “I wanted to surprise her with it.”
Dad: “It’s only a tea cozy.”
Me: I shake my head and thank him for measuring it and hang up.

Now is this man a spoilsport or what!?!?!?!

 

[Margaret]

Janet I would say he is a `typical man`

I was thinking that Margaret but I hear not all men are like that... you and I just have not meet them in person yet.

 

[Meg Mackenzie]

Janet, this made me laugh. He just wasn't that engaged in the process, I'm guessing!

[Deb Lee]

Janet, this made me smile, so often my father would be oblivious and let the cat out of the bag more than once.

[Nicola Thomson]

Oh dear........each teapot has the spout etc in different places Ive found so I make them to fit especially.(have pics of a couple here).

Have a good Mothers day...this year will be he first in 12 years Im not working !!!!!!!

Meg and Deb: some people can only handle one thought at a time. :)

 

Nicola I like you cozies. I know what you mean at getting them with the openings etc in the right place.

[Barbara/Hopscotch]

You could still surprise her by making a matching milk jug/sugar bowl cozy. 

Barbara:)

Barbara I made her those as part of her Christmas present. But I finished the cozy today so I still have time to make something quick. Maybe a bookmark.
