Your gift is downstairs!
These might not mean anything to the average person. But this is huge.
That's what the text said.
He had mentioned this gift a few times. He was dropping hints for the last few weeks. But I didn't think too much about it. He is a great gifter, gift giver, I don't know what it's called.
Anyway, he is my husband and he loves to give. No holiday or special occasion needed.
I went to the lobby. There were no packages on the shelf. The mailperson was there so asked if he had it.
" Don't remember seeing your name" he said.
He walked a box of packages over to the shelf. On the very bottom was the package. I was in a medium sized white box. I tried to see the label but I left my glasses upstairs. I squinted really hard.
CLARK!
He got me Clarkpads!
I ran to the apartment and video called him.
Clarkpads!
Then I opened the box and they were purple.
Some people learned to cook during The Lockdown. We learned how to ride electric unicycles, EUCs.
So, some people like flowers. I'm the kind of gal who likes unicycle accessories and these are the best.
First, what is your dog's name?? My wife teaches with a woman who has an English bulldog name Winston, so now, I have to ask, especially with that breed!! :)

This ending made me smile! I love the joy in your voice as you are talking about your husband and his gifting! To give you what you want out of the blue is special! :)
Thanks for your slice today! I look forward to reading more about unicycles (and bulldogs!).
Her name is Bella!
DeleteInteresting gift, you made it sould just right for you! Sweet!
ReplyDeleteI had a variety of ideas running through my head as far as what Clarkpads could be! Loved the suspense- I would have never guessed! Congrats on acquiring this new skill!
ReplyDeleteI also loved the ending! And the introduction to electric unicycles- clearly a pandemic silver lining. Enjoy your gift!
ReplyDeleteYou just taught me about electric unicycles, I had no idea. At first I thought Clark pads were some sort of exercise gadget. Well, in a way, they are. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what makes me smile more: the notion that electric unicycles could have been a part of my life at some point or the look on your sweet Bella's face in that picture! Your slice was fully of joy & excitement and it transported me, for just a moment, back to my own years living in Manhattan. Thank you!
