Boyfriend volunteered to stop by the shopping centre and pick out a new duvet cover set as he finishes earlier on Wednesdays. The minute I stepped out of the building, my phone rang (I had 3 missed calls).
Boyfriend: Hi. Ems, I'm here now and I don't know which ones to pick.
Me: Hi. What have you found?
B/f: So many! *slight panic in voice*
Me: What do they look like?
B/f: God, I'm a bit stressed about this actually. I have one set that's not 100% cotton.
Me: Ok...
B/f: It's only 50% cotton and the rest is polyester. I can't sleep on that! It'll itch!
Me: Ok - have you found any that are 100% cotton.
B/f: Mmmm... but it's pink! *panic increases*
Me: Do they have any other sets? Don't forget you need to buy a sheet as well.
B/f: Ooooh!
The conversation went on and I could just picture him in the store, surrounded by fabric and frilly stuff, getting more and more red and starting to perspire just enough to make him even more nervous. He did chose a nice stripy set with a sheet that "picks up on the colour of the brown-ish stripe in the middle..." (Oh Dear!)
It's a very nice set but I think he won't volunteer for anything like it again. He is now off to do a manly thing (football) to counteract today's "girly" shopping. Ahhh bless!
