~Nice little gestures~

Yesterday my mother and sister had gone out to buy some stuff,
and while they were gone I wanted to do something truly special to make them happy once they came back home.

I'm not the kind of guy who's good at making food, I rarely do stuff like that.
But I decided to make them some swirly pizza buns. But timing was essential, if I made them right away they would get cold. No one (except me) likes cold swirly pizza buns.

After a few hours I decided it was time to make them.
I had already prepared the dough beforehand, the toppings too.
So after rolling the pizza to a sausage shape, cutting it up in lesser parts, and putting it in the oven...
I had to wait. This part is always the tricky part, my mother wasn't any good with it. And to be honest I was fearing my swirly pizza buns would become a total failure, aka. burnt.
I checked on them regularly until I was pleased with the golden color they had, I took them out of the oven and let them cool off.
About 10 minutes later my mother and sister came home, and boy they were hungry. The best part was that my mother insisted they were the best Swirly pizza buns she had ever tasted.
And my hard to please sister liked them too! Success!


The next day (today) I decided to do something special for my mother and sister again.
So I made them cupcakes, female dogs love cupcakes.
And so does my family! Another success on my part!

- The End.

So my question to the forum is: Have you ever done something like this for your family? If yes tell me about it :)

Nice story, very nice thing to do ;).
Lately I haven't considered doing somthing like this, other than offering to take my dog for a walk (Which they always have to yell at me to do).
In the past however I've done a few things out of the blue for my family (more specifically my mom). One example was 2 years ago when my mom was complaining at how messy the house was and that she didn't have the time to do it herself. She then proceeded to ask my father if he'd like to go for a walk. After they left I decided to do somting about the mess. I started with the kitchen, cleaning counters, putting dishes away, and making everything look organized. Then I went to the family room which I fixed up all the magazines, random pillows around the room, and took anything out of place and put it where it should be. For my living room I basically did the same as my family room. After organizing, adjusting things and making everything look nice my Mom and Dad finally arrived home. She was extremely thankful for what I had decided to do. (+1 ;D)

My Dad was happy also, but isn't type to share how thankful he is.
My brother (younger) was convinced I was just sucking up to them and was annoyed (W/e I often don't care about what he thinks).
--The end.
Mabye I should do somthing like this again O.o..
Anyway, I like your topic idea Yami ;).

I've done pretty much to my family, mostly mom.
She always complains about how she has to do everything and clean up the mess after my brother and sister plays together(Not in That way, kthx)
And since my sister is too young to clean up and my brother has ADHD, she can't really tell him to do anything because he'd just ignore it. So I decided to help her out..
I did this for a couple of weeks before I got tired of it, though I still do some things.
I used to clean the whole house and organize everything like books and toys.
Then vaccuum the carpets and make food. Plus the regular stuff that I usually do.
She got really happy and told me I was the best daughter she could ever wish for. :u
I guess it is like they say, women belong in the kitchen? :D
Just kiddin', but yeah, that's my story, I used to help around with different stuff.





(I know it's an "old" topic, but I needed something to do, I was bored and I haven't posted anything here yet<-<)
