My wife and I just had a baby a few months ago and we have been trying to stick to a budget. Last week I had to get after her for spending too much, but the next day I gave into the wootoff and bought a 30 gb zune. So here is my question, how would you go about telling me wife about the zune? Just bust it out and play with it or should I come clean and tell her I blew the budget?

If you just tell her then she will probably laugh at you, if you tease her with it she will be mad.

Fess up. Don't try to rationalize it. Don't insult her with BS excuses. You blew it.

youre better off telling her and getting kicked than letting her find out herself and getting killed.

eBay it and get (most) of the money back.

I mean, how can someone be mad at you when you are south of their border? It just doesn't happen, go for it! :

Tell her that you tripped and fell on the mouse which actidently caused you to place an order for a zune. It'll work.

I doubt she'll laugh either way, but you'll get off a lot easier if you fess up.

Sounds like your lacking some integrity.

Take the Zune back or become a hypocrite. Your wife will use it an excuse to buy whatever she wants for the rest of your marriage.

There's only one proper ATOT response to this situation.

"Sup bitch, Zune?"

Put chick music on it, with a small recording by yourself, saying that you bought this for her to apologize for making a big deal of her breaking the budget. If she asks you how much it was, say "it doesn't matter, because I factored it into the budget."

If it were me I'd cook her favorite meal, something by candlelight, plenty of wine, and bring it up just after she was screaming, "I am coming!"

Yeah, that might work.

Explain to her the extreme savings involved when buying the Zune. If she still doesn't get it, just yell "THE SAVINGS, THE SAVINGS!" until she does.

Return it, or risk hearing about it for the rest of your life.

Oh, and you would lose all rights to your balls as well.
