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 idiot!"

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening,
he is gonna get it wrong.
