Am I The Oddity?

I recently saw this little commercial on Facebook. It was about a guy who goes to the doghouse because he got his wife a vacuum as a gift. Am I the only one that doesn’t see what’s so bad about that? Grant has gotten me a few appliances, and I have been happy as hell to get them. The only thing I can understand is if it wasn’t something I wanted or asked for. I’ve gotten a coffee pot, and more recently a fridge. If I came home to find out he had bought me a new stove or something, Id be happy! I think being raised with four brothers, I probably don’t think like the average girl. Why do gifts have to be certain things? I don’t need jewelry, although I wouldn’t say no to it. What wife manual says that he has to get me really expensive things? But maybe it’s because I love doing things for the house. I like keeping it clean and making sure everything is in it’s place. I know my OCD does get the best of me here and there, especially with two small girls. I get just as much excitement from getting our fridge as I did from him buying me my ”mommy” necklace for Christmas a few years ago. Remember that commercial where the woman stands at the entrance to the kitchen and keeps turning on and off the light with a smile on her face? The camera turns to what she’s looking at and it’s a stainless steel fridge. Ya, I was like that. But maybe Im the oddity. Or it could be that I’ve grown up a little bit…but I’ve always thought like this. There’s no right or wrong gift for me. If you I’ll like it or Ive made noise about wanting it…it’s fair game. Vacuums, coffee pots, appliances, jewelry, I’d take any of it!
