A man asked his wife what she’d like for her birthday. “I’d love to be eight again.” she replied.
On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her off to the local 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,
- Every thing there was.
Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. Right away, they journeyed to a McDonald’s where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake.
Then it was off to the movies: the latest Star Wars epic, a hot dog, popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, and her favourite lolly and M&M’s. What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, “Well, Dear, what was it like being eight again?”
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.“I meant my dress size, you ■■■■■■
The moral of the story:
“Even when a man is listening, he’s gonna get it wrong.”
