Pink Flashlights

Given his profession, Gabe kind of has an obsession with police-related gear, equipment, and clothing.  Occasionally I get annoyed with his requests for new knives, flashlights, gear, etc. 
"Can I get _____?"  
"I really need this....." 
"You know...I really could use another ______." 

Sometimes, however, I grant his requests.  Or give him permission.  Or allow it in the budget.  Or...just give in. 

Sometimes, we have conversations about these things.  A recent conversation went something like this:
Me: "Ya know...  You have so many high quality flashlights that are small, powerful and work really well but I don't know where any of them are!!  Ya know, when we lost power that one time I had to use that big crappy cheap flashlight...which I think is kind of unfair since you have like a million really good flashlights.  Your wife and son don't even get to use the good ones!"
Gabe: "Do you want a flashlight?"
Me: "Can you get me a good one?"
Gabe: "Uhh...yeah."
Me: "Can you get a pink one?" (I don't even really like the color pink but somehow a pink flashlight just seems feminine and perfect...kind of like a pink gun)
Gabe: "Uhh...yeah."

Thus the stage was set for my birthday presents.

Both are Streamlight flashlights.  The little one is really powerful and hooks onto my keychain.  The bigger one is more of a normal flashlight and I plan to put it by my bed at night.  It's not exactly a glamorous present...well, I take that back.  Pink is pretty glamorous!  And pretty!  Regardless, I think it should be known that only my husband, my dear dear husband, would buy me Streamlight flashlights for my birthday. 

And that is just one of the reasons I love my husband.  :)
