After 50 years of marriage
November 17th, 2008
I found this one this morning and I thought I would share it. I could just imagine this one happening and the family members trying to hold back the giggles…
A golden anniversary party was thrown for an elderly couple. The husband was moved by the occasion and wanted to tell his wife just how he felt about her. She was very hard of hearing, however, and often misunderstood what he had to say. With many family members and friends gathered around, he toasted her: “My dear wife, after fifty years I’ve found you tried and true!” Everyone smiled approval, but his wife said, “Eh?” He repeated in a louder voice, “AFTER FIFTY YEARS I’VE FOUND YOU TRIED AND TRUE!” His wife harumphed and shot back, “Well, let me tell you something—after fifty years I’m tired of you, too!”

It reminds me of a time we were visiting a church in Mt Hawthorn (many years ago) and the two elderly ladies up the front were “quietly” asking what time it was?! And the Pastor replying “I’m nearly finished!”

I remeber that. It was a nice moment…with lots of giggles too!
