To Be Six Again
A man asked his wife, if you could have
anything in the world for one day, what would you want? I'd love to be six again, she replied. On the
morning of her birthday, he got her up bright and early and off they went to a
local theme park. What a day. He put her on every ride in the park: the
Death Slide, the Screaming Loop, and the Wall of Fear everything there was.
Wow! Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park, her head
reeling and her stomach upside down. Right to a McDonald's they went, where her
husband ordered her a Big Mac along with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate
shake. Then it was off to a movie: the latest Hollywood blockbuster, hot dogs,
popcorn, Pepsi Cola and M&Ms. What a fabulous adventure. Finally she
wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed. He leaned over and lovingly
asked, Well, dear, what was it like being six again? One eye opened. You idiot,
I meant my dress size.
The moral of this story is:
If a woman speaks and a man is actually listening, he will still get it wrong.
