Does It Count As Thoughtful
This morning someone posted two vinyl records on the internal for sale list. Turns out I wanted those LPs. I jokingly told Bill he should buy them for me. He wasn't so sure. "Oh?" he asked.
"Yeah," I egged, "for, ya know, Christmas. Or just because you love me."
We laughed, and then an hour later I sent a message to the seller asking her price. She told me to name my own, but I got busy and didn't reply straight away.
A couple hours later I went to reply to her but discovered that the records had been sold. A few emails down the list I discovered that Bill had accidentally replied to the entire list asking to buy them.
Then, I discovered, he had sent me an im telling me to go ahead and ignore all messages regarding those records.
So, while this puts a huge smile on my face, I pose the question to you: Is it really thoughtful if I told him to do it in the first place?
