Incognito Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I could use a little help if anyone is good at this sort of thing. I'm terrible at surprises, but I am trying to do one. My DH and I have been looking for a different house in our little town for years now, and his cousin called me this afternoon with a really good possibility. The owner is interested in possibly doing a swap with us and wants to see our house. So I asked DH to do a family picnic when he gets home down at the park (which is a block and a half or so away from this other house). He's game. I want to somehow casually walk him by and talk about living on a nice little dead end street or something, but it isn't on our way. How do I casually get him into going for a random walk down a dead end street near the park? I know that sounds like a dumb question, but I am REALLY bad at sneaking/surprises. FWIW, this house sounds like a great fit for us, so he might be really interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth S Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm terrible at surprises too (either backfiring, or the "victim" imagining something BAD). I'd just make it a fun outing, where he KNOWS that you're going to look at a house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Yeah, that's what I'd normally do too. I'm just trying to figure out how to be fun. I haven't been very fun/exciting lately. But he probably would like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
