Evan (aka the boyfriend) is one of those people who thinks he hates his birthday. He is also difficult to shop for because he buys himself whatever he wants. So this year, I got him a blow up T-Rex costume because for some reason that absolutely made sense and, well, Amazon carried it.
Evan opened the present slowly, like most people who hate their birthdays and are difficult to shop for do. But then as he realized what it was, he smiled. And said my favorite Evan phrase “no, shit?”.
The following weekend, we scheduled time to hang out with Vivie and Josh and we told them we would be running around Deep Ellum wearing that T-Rex costume. You know what? They didn’t even flinch – because that’s actually not the most ridiculous idea we have ever had.
If there is any shred of doubt, the costume was a massive hit. We had people videoing us, laughing with us, taking picture of us, running after us …
And, yes, we dressed up as random food items. Josh & Vivie were a bagel with cream cheese and I was a carrot.
Because, why not?
Seriously, why not?
