To be 6 Again...

[Maephina]

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 it was 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 gonna get it wrong.

Or lack thereof.

Two words any married man has to have memorized as a reaction - "Yes Dear"

My dad makes me say it to my mom. He says that it's good practice.

LOL!

I dunno. Seems to me, the man in the story offered up the possible and perhaps more worthwhile gift than the one the woman was very unclear in stating. With men, you must be specific, or they will choose the most logical connotation... or the easiest. Depends on the male.

Gawd... sometimes I wonder if I'm really female.
