To Be 6 Again
A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife
turning
back and
forth, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was
not
far
off he
asked what she'd like to have for her Birthday. "I'd like to be
six
again,
"she
replied, still looking in the mirror.
On the morning of her Birthday, he rose early, made her a nice
big
bowl
of Lucky
Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park What a day! He
put
her
on every
ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the
Screaming
Monster
Roller
Coaster, everything there was.
Five hour later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head
was
reeling and her
stomach felt upside down. He then took her to a McDonald's where
he
ordered her a
Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.
Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her
favorite
candy,
M&M's.
What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her
husband
and
collapsed
into bed exhausted.
He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked,
"Well
Dear,
what was
it like being six again"?? Her eyes slowly opened and her
expression
suddenly
changed.
"I meant my dress size, you dumb ass!"
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is
going
get
it
wrong.
