Beans unleashed: Kiwanis roll out end-of-the-summer fun
Can opener proves perfect gift
I
’m not normal.
There, I said it — it’s
out there. However, for
those that know me, this isn’t
any big revelation.
The reason I reiterate this
now is my husband, John,
got me a can opener for our
anniversary. Societal stan-
dards have suggested women
don’t want appliances as gifts.
However, I was thrilled!
On the morning of our 32nd
anniversary, I was wondering
why there wasn’t a card wait-
ing for me in the bathroom.
Over the years, our bathroom
has become the communica-
tion center where John leaves
me messages or cards.
Notations on the dry erase
board on the mirror let me
know everything from John
is working late or planning a
Costco run to suggestions for
our dinner date or it’s time
for me to order more Advan-
tix for our canine kids. Cards
are generally left in front of
the mirror or dangling from a
hook in the ceiling.
John always gets me a card
for special occasions. When
there was no card to be found
in the bathroom Sept. 10, I
wondered, “What gives?”
I made my way down-
stairs to get a glass of Pepsi
and feed the dogs. And, there
on the kitchen counter was
a card and wrapped box. I
was Tuite surprised. My ¿rst
thoughts were, “We haven’t
bought each other anniversa-
ry gifts for a number of years”
(we generally take a trip) and,
“What am I
going to get
him?”
When
I
opened
the
box to reveal a
funky new-fan-
gled can open-

MALGESINI
er, I smiled and
INSIDE MY
laughed. You
SHOES
see, I never di-
rectly told John I wanted one.
The night before while
wrestling a can of refried
beans with the 32-year-old
Rival can opener, I said in ex-
asperation, “I want a new can
opener for our anniversary.”
John, who was chillin’ in
his chair in the living room,
didn’t respond. There was
no knight in shining armor
to conquer the can, no com-
ment about how much the
can opener sucked and no of-
fer to get the “analog” opener
out of our travel kit in the ga-
rage. Tired from a long day at
work, it was just me and the
elusive beans.
Come to ¿nd out, he went
to Wal-Mart before going to
work that morning and chose
the Hamilton Beach Smooth
Touch model.
Yep, a man that listens and
a can opener that cleanly re-
moves the top are both pretty
special.
