"These are oven mitts, Andrew."

"Yes they are."

"You gave me oven mitts. For my birthday."

"Yes."

"Although I leave all things kitchen-related to you in this relationship."

"Yes."

"Even though YOU are attending cooking school."

"Yes."

"Even though this is our first anniversary and we’re in Hawaii."

"Yes."

"And Anya owns a surf shop full of Xander-friendly gifts."

"Yes."

"Um…Well, thanks?"

"Take them out, Xander."

Xander took the over mitts out of the box. They were heavier than he expected.

He emptied the oven mitts into his lap.

"You bought me lube."

"Yes…in several flavors."

"Happy Birthday to me!"
