Through the eyes of love

Last week, I had dinner with a lovely group of women including my cousin and her mother in law, Hope. During the course of the meal, Hope told us the story of her romantic Valentine's Day dinner with her husband. 

He cooked!

And it was wonderful. 

At the end of the meal, he told her he couldn't believe she hadn't noticed. 

Noticed what?

The huge green sticker he'd had on his forehead all evening. 

Whoops. 

So on Saturday night (after a glass of wine or two or three), I glanced at the bunch of bananas on the counter and decided to test Beau.
I affixed a Chiquita banana sticker to my forehead. It. Was. Attractive (as you can clearly see below).
I also texted my cousin to let her know my plan. 
I walked back into the living room and sat down by him.
No notice.
I turned on the light.
Nothing.
Got a little chatty.
Nope. 
This went on for two hours.
TWO HOURS!
Finally I leaned in and asked Do you think I'm boooooo-teeee-fullll?
Bingo! He noticed.
I explained my reasoning for my attractive new forehead adornment. 

He says it was too dark! And that my hair was covering it!

Uh-huh.
My cousin's husband thinks he could totally beat Beau's record. 

Ladies, I dare you to try this at home. The results might frighten you, but they'll also probably amuse you.
Note to self: MOISTURIZE.
