    Default The Parts Fairy is coming and I'm in trouble

    I ordered Baja Ron's Sway Bar but I didn't tell my husband! The tracker says it will arrive today and I've got to decide on what to tell him.

    1. I told you I ordered this don't you remember?
    2. It is a must have safety item and you always say Safety First
    3. I didn't buy it I traded for it. (that is his favorite excuse)
    4. Now I've got my Christmas present what would you like for Christmas?

    I'm doomed.

    Tell him that you have heard a Secret Santa has been giving presents out in area. Paying for it is "Safety Chrome". Oh wait a minute, that is a Gold Wing thing.

    Even little white lies will catch up sooner or later. Just tell him it fell off the UPS truck and they couldn't take it back. (Disregard first part of post).

    I don't see any problem. Your hubby is a very nice guy. The truth will work just fine. After helping him install it, maybe he will take you out to test drive the sway bar and stop and someplace nice to eat.

    Let us know how the new sway bar works.

    I think I will be off the hook as I just ordered him a new 60" flat screen TV and I got it for free by using my credit card points.

    When it arrives open it up with a surprised face, then thank him with a big hug.
    When the flat screen arrives ask him where it came from.

    I like #4. When I was married I would use it when I bought myself jewelry. (That had nothing to do with the divorce.)

    So he finally saw the package and said "Hey what did you get?" and I said "a swaybar" he said "Cool". I guess the TV smoothed things over!!

    You could have said its a BRP recall you have to swap the old defected part for the new one.

    But a 65 inch tv works just as well, we're a simple lot us men.
