This late in the shopping season, Castela is going to have a very hard time finding a decent pair of sterling silver cuttlefish to buy. Holocaust cloaks in Shawna’s size are certainly sold out for the year. And an autographed copy of the Necronomicon… the eBay bidding is going to be brutal.
“We communicate so well, I’m sure you’ve picked up every hint I’ve dropped”
Is equivalent to
“You drive so safely, you haven’t killed a pedestrian in three whole minutes!”
Yeah…I hate it when significant others think that dropping hints about what they want is a good idea. I’d much rather they just outright tell me. Thankfully, my current SO does tell me directly if he thinks something would be a good gift idea…but he usually tells me after I’ve already done my Christmas shopping. 😛
yeah same.. i told my SO that hints get thrown out with the trash.. just tell me what you want.! my favorite (sarc) was when we went out to eat.. “where do you want to eat.?” ” i don’t know..” then get up set that we didn’t go “X”.. broke her of that,, when idk, we stay home.!
After 40 years, I just tell my husband what to buy for me. He surprises me with thoughtfull gifts, but if it’s something that I particularly want I have been known to take a picture in a store and tell him that he just bought it for me… (I will put the box under the tree, etc. so he gets credit on the day.)
Ruh roh
Under-boob!
Under-age under-boob!
Uh oh!
If you drive her crazy now, Shawna, there’ll be nothing left for after the two of you are married.
Oops.

*sigh*
First rule of communication: Subtle is for things that can be afforded to miss; important messages should be plain.
and just exactly WHEN was THAT nugget of wisdom ever communicated to her?… in plain text at that, since it seems to be pretty important.
That would be something mama Kath needed to have relayed. Or Auntie M.
Just now, didn’t you read it?
Preach RoyD! Preach!!

Well played Shawna, well played indeed.

“Oooooooohhhhh ffffuuuuudddggggeeeeede!!”
I’m willing to bet Shawna knows full well what Castela is like, and is just teasing her.

“Hints” are not “Good communication”.
