TO BE 6 AGAIN


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 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 is going to get it wrong.

[Postscript: This may be just sexist enough to offend even me...but it's still kind of funny. I'm sure a lot of guys can relate to this poor fellow's plight.]
