Booper 2 Posted April 27, 2010 I just got home with a brand new Roland GX-24 that is currently sitting in its box in my basement, wife is gonna be home in about 40 minutes & I gotta come up with some way to explain how on earth it got there! Maybe if I dont say anything at all she wont notice it LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhelms 5 Posted April 27, 2010 Send it to me before she gets home and no worries LOL jhelms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest YHC Posted April 27, 2010 First thing I would do is not make it all about you. Big NO NO! I would tell her that you bought something that will give you guys a hobby that will provide some bonding time together and a chance to make money as well. If this doesn't work your screwed lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberSultan 6 Posted April 27, 2010 Ah man, been there. You might just need to rip off that bandaid quick. My wife just suggested that you might want to wrap it and put a bow on it. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Booper 2 Posted April 27, 2010 LOL! Yeah ive used the reverse the heat technique on her before and she's wise to it, and she hates weeding so thats out, If the bandaid one doesnt work its off to the jewelry store I think LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prestonservco 26 Posted April 27, 2010 When she walks in - confront HER about why SHE bought it. LOL. Hey, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS. I guess we'll have to keep it. :- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted April 27, 2010 Tell her "woman, I bought a new cutter and if you don't like it then don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you". Then run very fast. ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edge 67 Posted April 28, 2010 Your first mistake was hiding it in the basement. In my experience.....displaying an item on the dining room table for her to see when she comes through the door works best. I've found a properly timed statement of "Honey..look what I bought you" will also assist in sealing the deal. All relationships are obviously not created equal to apparently give others a goal to obtain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfought 120 Posted April 29, 2010 you could just tell her that your girl friend bought it for you. then she will be so mad about your girl friend that she will forget you bought the cutter. or you could just be honest with her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
