... The husband was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife
as she turned 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 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, every ride in the park. Five hours later they staggered out of the park.
Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside-down. He then took her
to McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake. Then it was off to a movie, with popcorn, 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 butt !"
Moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he's going to get it
wrong.
