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 arose 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
hours 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!!"
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is going to
get it wrong.
