Apology Stockpiling

(My boyfriend and I are running errands around town when he decides to stop at a flower shop. He proceeds to buy me flowers.)

Me: “Flowers? There a reason?”

Boyfriend: “Well, I’m just being proactive. I’m sure I’ll say or do something stupid later.”

Me: “Well, thanks? You know, you’re still not going to get away with whatever stupid thing you say or do later, right?

Boyfriend: “Oh. Can I have those back, then?”
