I'm not so different from a whole bunch of other typical American husbands. I never know what to buy my wife for Christmas or birthdays. Don't even get me on the topic of Valentine's Day.

*Sigh*

I decided to make a house of chocolate for my wife. I bought her favorite chocolate bars, and you see the result above.

Leave it to a woman's daughter to know her favorite flavor of chocolate. If it were men, it might be cars or basketball teams, but for women it's chocolate. I presented my daughter with two chocolate bars that looked the same to me. I saw, and still see, no difference, and she says, "Mom likes the one with red print."

I guess there is a difference. My wife will have a house made of her favorite chocolate on Christmas morning. The chocolate with the red print.

I guess, I'm only a man.
