As he hasn't organised a gift for his brother's wedding, I should sit down tomorrow and draw or paint a picture to be framed and given. Reader, I cannot draw. Nor paint. 🤔

Potato prints are fun to make. Then you can throw the potatoes at his head afterwards.

😆😆😆

Do a handprint picture...using his blood.

Or a stick woman with a shovel on a patio. That's not too hard.

Or take a photo of you and him, on the patio, with a shovel. Use someone else's patio though and say it's the new version of cluedo.

Why are men like this? 🙄

Bob Ross is on at 7pm, just saying.

Sometime in the near future I hope we get a thread posted from a bemused new bride and her obscure framed wedding gift.

🤣🤣

coxesorangepippin · 19/10/2023 18:52

😂

Just write 'your bro made me do it' on a piece of cardboard

Nowherenew · 19/10/2023 18:52

Please do a really shit one OP and tell us his reaction.

Its funny how he forgot to buy the gift and now wants you to paint a picture.

Why does he not paint one himself! Lazy sod.

vernatheraven · 19/10/2023 18:53

Do you even have paint and a frame and canvas?

doitwithlove · 19/10/2023 18:53

Give him some paper & paints for toddlers, tell him to do his best 🤣

I think you should seize this opportunity, OP. A searing avant-garde abstract meditation on the modern bondage of the married state. Perhaps using your own menstrual blood.

Absolute genius idea

MindfullyAmazedHorse · 19/10/2023 18:55

😂 Did he offer any reasoning for this idea?

I like the idea of the stick woman on the patio!

Namedmyself · 19/10/2023 18:55

I am sitting in a Polpo, restaurant in central London by myself reading your post.

it made me laugh out loud

Namedmyself · 19/10/2023 18:56

Please tell us more stories about your husband 😂

I want to know why?

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 19/10/2023 18:57

Best thread for a long while, I so wish my bil was getting married AGAIN 😂

Topseyt123 · 19/10/2023 18:59

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'd be telling him that surely he couldn't be serious. If he was then he would be doing the painting himself and explaining it to his brother and his new SIL. 🤣🤣🤣

Jewelspun · 19/10/2023 18:59

Frog?

Restinpeacefavouritecoathanger · 19/10/2023 19:00

I need to know more about your husband's ideas

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 19/10/2023 19:00

What about doing some Spirograph swirlies in their weeding colours?

Or doing melted crayon art in their wedding colours?

GoingDownLikeBHS · 19/10/2023 19:00

Cock and balls. Hairy. With spunk. Classic.

headcheffer · 19/10/2023 19:01

Genuinely if it was me I'd write "your brother forgot to buy you a gift and so got me to make you this instead" on a canvas with a Sharpie and frame it Grin My family would find that funny though.

Doteycat · 19/10/2023 19:02

Can you not just stand up on the day and sing them a song?
I mean come on, put some feeling into it at least.

Olika · 19/10/2023 19:03

WTF 😂
