My stepdad sent this to me this morning.
What a great family.

“Break a lens!” — Glenn, my stepdad, in reference to the two big shoots I have tomorrow
I’m not even kidding, I’d fall for this. AND THEN I WOULD BAKE ALL THE THINGS.
This would absolutely work on me. I would much rather have a box of flours than a vase of flowers.
Fun story: This is exactly what my stepdad did for my mom a couple years ago for Valentine’s Day. She told him she didn’t want “anything cliche like chocolate or flowers”. So he walked in and said, “Look. I’m the man of this relationship, and I make decisions around here-” (at which point we were all really weirded out, as Glenn is a huge feminist and also the kindest, least aggressive person I know) “-and if I want to get you flowers, I’m going to get you flowers!” He then presented his “flowers”: whole wheat, white, sifted, etc.
