Default I am a lucky man

My wife is in calgary visiting her mother and I just got a phone call.

"Hi I'm at Red Coral and I have picked out 2 clams for you but they have a peacock mantis as weel would you like it too?"

I HAVE HAD A TANK SET UP FOR ONE FOR NEAR 3 MONTHS NOW SO UMMM YESSSS!

So in a couple hours I have some new tank inhabitants. Yay me

I say your wife has scored some major "brownie points" - you better have something really good in "the works" to top off that one! Way to go girl! And man, you are a very lucky one!
