She does seem to like it. But if she didn’t, she had better like it anyway because it showed he listened to her. I grew up in a home where mom would talk about needing things like faucets and toilet seats before Christmas. Needless to say, that’s what she got. She was not happy. From that I learned that unless you really want a household appliance or new hardware for Christmas or your birthday, don’t talk about it. Guys seem to be hardwired for ‘practical’ gifts and that’s what they remember.
Betty is a smart, savvy comic character who is unapologetically ordinary, happy and female. Betty is a truly modern woman - a wife, mother and working woman.

Oh, I can think of a few things, but Betty does seem happy with her gift.

Beats the hell out of a carpet shampooer, and she IS taking it in the proper (non-clichéd) spirit.

It’s a good thing he knows his wife (yet another reason I love this comic, because of the strong marital relationship).

He got her what he knows she has really wanted but didn’t feel she could get. Perfect.

They could get another one and make a Cialis commercial.

Which is better a practical inexpensive gift that she wants and will use, or an expensive useless gift?
