Tueday - Start of a Tradition

ninanevermoreToday on my drive into work, I was thinking about how Saturday was Jeff's and mine 6th wedding anniversary (we married after dating for only 11 years - you don't want to rush into something like that). I've always been lousy at remembering dates, so having an anniversary of 09-09 makes it easy. The fact that we married in 2000 helps me keep track of which anniversary we are on. Our first was in '01, our second in '02, and so on. As long as I know what year it is, I can figure out which anniversary we are celebrating.
"It's six," I told Jeff.
"Really? Already?"
"Really."
"Do you know what I'm supposed to give you? Traditionally, I mean."
I hated to admit that I didn't know, so I said the first thing that came to mind.
"Oral sex."
"Wow. Is that the traditional gift?"
"Yes. Going back to the dawn of time. You can look it up if you don't believe me."
And here he might have been worried that it was going to be something expensive. I now know that iron or candy is the traditional gift, and while neither of them is especially pricey, I like my idea better and think it's much more affordable. It is, after all, a gift from the heart.
I think it can be a new tradition; they all have to start somewhere.

Depending on your ages, maybe you're better off with candy?
