I’d love to be eight again

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 and made her a bowl of Teddy Grahams and a peanut butter and jelly toast!

He took her to the local amusement park and put her on every ride in the park: * The Death Slide * The Wall of Fear * The Screaming Monster Roller Coaster and more.

Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park.

Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. Right away they went to a McDonald’s where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate milkshake.

Then it was off to the movies: the latest Kiddies three hour epic cartoon, a hot dog, popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, plus candy!

What a fabulous adventure! The man was thrilled to bits to give his wife just what she wanted for her birthday.

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed onto the 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 changed to one of total realisation…’I meant my dress size, you idiot!!!!

The moral of this story: Communication… Even when a man is listening, he’s still gonna get it wrong…..
