To Be Eight Again

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, watching his wife, who was
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 eight again', she replied, still looking in the mirror .

On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of
Coco Pops, and then took her to Adventure World theme park. What a day! He
put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the
Screaming 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 favourite 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 eight again?

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed.

'I meant my dress size, you numb-skull.

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

I resemble that remark. Except my wife loved theme parks.

I gave up on gifts to the women folk years ago. I am clueless on style/color/women's moods/needs. LOL

I have found that cash is usually never complained about. LOL Never is too large of a size either. LMAO

Do get the wife flowers at different times each year. We have a good local florist that has a good eye for making flower arrangements. I do know the wife does not like red roses much. So I get her some yellow, pink, and white ones instead.

A simple case of miscommunication, the husband was supposed to automatically know what she meant, without further explanation!

Yeah, I usually just give my wife a check that she is supposed to spend on herself. It is easier for me and is always appreciated. Appreciated much more than some of the gifts I have given her previously.

The other option is just getting her what she asks for, which she has sometimes done. But it has to be EXACTLY what she asks for and the details are sometimes hard to get her to explain. Money is much easier.

I don"t do flowers much anymore as my wife has developed asthma and cannot stand to be around any flowers with any aroma. But I found out years ago that there were certain flowers she just didn"t like, which unfortunately were some I like to look at. Again money is easier.

I wish I really understood females. I keep trying to learn, but will never say I really know what to expect from them.

enjoy them ladys boys when lose one ;life is never the same again
