My Camouflage Nightgown

My ex was an avid hunter. We used to fight over the remote because he wanted to watch the hunting shows and I absolutely would have rather watched anything other than someone whispering, “Look here John, he’s a big one, he’s coming right under the tree stand and she’s right up ahead.” Meanwhile, the tension is supposed to build here as the excitement escalates. No thank you. I knew I was in trouble when on Christmas morning in a moment of pure excitement I unwrapped my shiny present and pulled out the camouflage nightie. Again, no thank you. I had to put on antlers and wear hooves around the house during deer season just to get him to talk to me. Now he expected me to tramp up and down the steps in this thing. No. Not happening. I was thinking why would I put that on? It might get him excited number one and number two it could put me at risk of being shot. Oh brother. Note to self and to others, if you are going to get your “significant other” a meaningful gift make sure it means something to them versus your personal hobby! Wow.
