A seemingly thoughtful pillow from my father-in-law concealed an intention that caught me off guard.
For our wedding anniversary, he gave me a pillow adorned with lovely embroidery. The gesture touched me, and I liked how the soft pillow fit right in with our living room style.
When I set it up, Josh came into the room. As soon as I explained it was his dad’s gift, he froze. He moved quickly, listened to the pillow, and threw it out the back door.
I was stunned, yelling, "WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING?!"
"Sweetheart, you CAN'T keep this pillow! There's something inside!"
"What do you mean?"
We hurried outside.
Sure enough, a faint ticking was audible.
"Oh," I breathed in disbelief. I was convinced Josh was mistaken.
"Take out your phone and record this entire thing," said Josh while bending down. "In case something is wrong or illegal."
Taking a moment, Josh tore the pillow open.⬇️A seemingly thoughtful pillow from my father-in-law concealed an intention that caught me off guard.
