A man was sitting on the edge of the bed,
observing his wife, 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,
you dummy!'
The moral of the story:
Even when a man is listening,
he's gonna get it wrong.
