May the Glass Be With You
June 11
Anne and I went on vacation. We talked about lots of dumb stuff, including Glasses of our Childhood. Namely, Burger King Star Wars glasses, McDonald's Peanuts glasses, and the mini A&W mugs you could get at the drive-up, back in the day when eating in your car was a novelty and not a filthy, regretable way of life.
June 19, Father's Day
Dad and I went to the flea market. I found THE PERFECT GIFT for Anne! It's so AWESOME! And that's too much build-up, thereby ensuring that she'll hate it, but even that can't stop me from being so pleased with myself and the perfect alignment of the planets!

I stupidly emailed Anne, "I bought your birthday present at the flea market yesterday!"
And she replied back, "Is it a Burger King Star Wars glass?"
I shuddered, staring at my computer screen, my heart pounding, my mind racing. Can she see me right now? Does she know what I'm thinking? Can she watch me when I shower? Does she know I got up in the middle of the night last night and ate cold mac 'n' cheese right outta the Tupperware?
Okay, yes, we had talked about the Burger King Star Wars glasses on vacation, but we talked about lots of stuff! And what were the odds of me actually finding one! HOW?! COULD?! SHE?! KNOW?!
Clearly, she's the devil, and I'm the only one who knows, so it's up to me to destroy her. I'm gonna have to call Keanu Reeves or something. He'll know what to do.
I lamely emailed back, "I don't know how to respond to that."
August 8, The Day after Anne's birthday
I totally made her wait until her birthday to open it, even tho' she already knew what it was. I just hate her that much for guessing.
But did she know it was the Darth Vader glass? Huh? Did she? Huh, MISS SMARTY PANTS?!
Comments

I had figured it was a Burger King Star Wars glass. But the ones I had as a child were from Return of the Jedi, and this was from the original. I had never seen it before and was quite delighted.
This was no display of my Superpowers. It was merely spectacular powers of deductive reasoning. What the hell else were you going to find for me at a flea market?
I have mocked every person who has ever dared to buy me clothes. I collect little more than books, and there is a theory abound (however mistaken) that I have already read everything. So Star Wars was the easiest guess. And novelty glasses are the best find of the flea markets.
I like the Muppets ones, too.

I HATE when that happens! My boyfriend does the same crap to me, and it makes me kinda want to just stomp on his foot! REAL hard!
