The Juicer My husband and I have been happily married for three years. On our second Christmas together, my then boyfriend was called out of town on business. He wouldn’t return until after New Year’s, so he left my gift and made me promise not to open it until Christmas morning. Of course I couldn’t wait until Christmas, so I opened my gift a few days early. To my utter disappointment my loving boyfriend had bought me a juicer—the most unromantic gift of all time. I was almost in tears at the thought of it. A day before Christmas Eve my mom mentioned her interest in a new diet which involved drinking plenty of juice. I decided to re-gift the appliance and give it to my mom. On Christmas morning my boyfriend called. I pretended to open my gift, and I faked surprise. That was when I got the shock of my life. My boyfriend asked me to marry him. Of course I said yes to the love of my life. At that same moment my mom walked into the room. She held the juicer in one hand and a black velvet box in the other. My boyfriend had put my ring inside the juicer, and I had given it to my mother! Christine Williams | Sherrills Ford | EnergyUnited |
