Today, when 2.0 picked movita up at work he had good news.
2.0: I golfed really well today. I had a spectacular tee shot on the 18th. Three hundred and twenty four yards. Tiger Woods would have clapped for me.
movita: Nice! So you won?
2.0: Yup, and you won't believe what's waiting for you at home.
movita: What? What's waiting for me at home?
2.0: A great prize.
movita: What?!
2.0: It's something we've wanted for a really long time. I can't tell you what it is, because I'm afraid you'll pee in the car.
movita: I guess if we're not allowed to eat in the new car, we can't pee in the new car.
2.0: You got that right.
movita: Is it another travel mug?
2.0: Nope! Man, you're going to be so happy...
The drive home seemed to take forever. After pulling into the driveway, 2.0 bolted out of the car and ran round to the trunk. movita stood on the lawn, with her eyes closed (as requested by 2.0). As he rummaged in the trunk, 2.0 told movita that when you win a golf tournament, you get first crack at the prizes. 2.0 had looked at all of prizes that afternoon... dvd players, coolers, barbecue sets, drills, tools... and he quickly grabbed what he felt was the best prize on the table. As the victor, this was his earned right.
2.0 picked the Slap Chop.
movita: This is awesome.
2.0: I know!
movita: I wanted to get one for your birthday, but couldn't find one. That's why I got you the mp3 player. But I know you really wanted the Slap Chop.
2.0: Let's chop some onions!
movita: Maybe we should wait until we actually need something chopped. Like when we're cooking. You can help chop when I'm making the minestrone tomorrow night.
2.0: Yah. I'll do that. I can't wait.
movita: Let's go in and take it out of the box.
2.0: (under his breath) This is going to be awesome. All we need now is the Graty...

I had to look this up to know what it actually was, but he does realize that they're only $19.99 right? And you get the Graty for free!
Stop ruining the magic of this moment, Adopamop. I think it's a lovely prize that only brings a couple closer together. Which is why I bought ten of them for $19.99 each.
I find it a little concerning that Chip has this much chopping to do!
We didn't get the Graty. It's probably so awesome that someone stole it.
Oh, and we chopped the shit outta Sunday night's dinner.
