LOL. Pancakes gift was the best, followed closely in second place to the diaper bag. YET, when they give their wives this type of thing it's to be oohed and aahhed of how thoughtful he is and what a wonderful guy.

What made this even funnier for me was the reaction I had for half a second before I realized it was a joke. I felt like I had woken up in a different universe. Or maybe I was that out of touch with what younger heterosexual couples are like nowadays. It was fascinating and funny to me the ways that my brain struggled to make sense out of something that simply can't happen in this universe.
