Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-26948101-20160607100438/@comment-28358106-20160609012635

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," I would say. "I completely forgot!  Darling, I'm so sorry."

I would play it up as if I had "forgotten" that I promised this night to my maid. I would politely---but insistently---gently push the Manticore out the door, with promises of future batches of nookie cookies. "I'll call you, babe.  I promise. Kthxbai."

And, rubbing my hands, proceed to play with my new birthday present. After all, she went through the trouble. I'd want it to be her night.
