How Well Do You Know Clarissa:
When my husband wants to do something really romantic for me, something that would have a deep personal significance, he gives me:
A. A book.
B. Peaches.
C. Diamonds.
D. Chocolate.
E. A round of applause.
F. Shoes.
G. Hugs and kisses.

I think this answer is peaches! 🙂

I go for peaches too, maybe because they were difficult to obtain when you were in Ukraine (which rhymes…)?

A. A book – would make sense
B. Peaches – would not make sense (which means it could make sense)
C. Diamonds – wrong plane of existence
D. Chocolate – too american (IME chocalate isn’t so emotional for women outside the US)
E. A round of applause – I could see that
F. Shoes – Could really see that
G. Hugs and kisses – Really counterintuitive
I’m gonna say F (with A in reserve since just any old book might not be your thing)

Melocotones! I remember you mentioning they were used metaphorically in several books. I’m not sure about the meaning they communicated but I’m sure it was a deep feeling for someone…. perhaps you can remind us?

Cliff, we old blog readers know it is B because this has been explained in the past. But, your thought process is interesting on this and I also learned something: is that why American women like chocolate, it is emotionally significant? This explains the fixation, I had not figured it out before although I guess I should have done.

I would have said Figs but since it isn’t an option, I will go with B.

He wouldn’t give me figs, they make him feel jealous. 🙂

Peaches, though I like the round of applause and may suggest it to my partner.
