Husband Thinks ‘We’ Should Buy Something For Friends With New Baby

Local boyfriend Bryce Winter has earned an eye roll from his wife this afternoon after suggesting that they buy a small gift to celebrate the birth of their close friends’ baby boy, Kyle.

While the gesture itself is not an issue, The Advocate understands it is the way he asked that elicited the less-than-impressed response.

Rather than going out and buying something in his equal share of the hours in the day, Bryce suggested to his wife, Claire, that “we” should get something. Which, as every couple knows, is code for “can you do this thing solo? I will not be helping”.

“Of course I want to buy the gift,” Claire told our reporter, “but why not just grow a pair and come out and say ‘can you get it?’ instead of hiding behind ‘we’?”

This isn’t the first time Bryce has tried the ‘we’ angle. According to Claire, it’s happened upwards of 15 times.

“Can we make something? Can we RSVP? Can we get my mum something for her birthday? We sure can, but we will also get a new Dyson Airwrap that we need.”

It’s not yet known what gift Claire will get baby Kyle, but it will certainly be better than anything Bryce would have bought.

More to come.
