To be Six Again

TO BE SIX 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 dumb ass!"
  
  The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening,
  he is gonna get it wrong.
