An E-mail and a Question

I received the following e-mail today from a friend. I have seen it before, and honestly I think it is funny. But I wonder . . .

To Be Six Again (A Good Laugh)

A man was sitting on the edge of the bed observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off, he asked her 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&Ms. What a fabul0us 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 a#%!"
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.

I hate the moral of this story. If I had written this joke, the moral would be:

A good man will bust his butt to make his woman happy, and even on a diet, a woman is willing to eat everything in front of her, then blame her husband for her fat thighs.

But, then, (and this is what I wonder) would this e-mail really go very far?

That's my opinion. What do you think?

Oh, and if you have a good man, give him an extra kiss tonight.

A Great Day

I try to always end my letters and e-mails to friends with "Have a Great Day." I have no idea what would be a great day for most of them. But here is an example of a great day for me.

I sleep in a little, then make breakfast with my kids and we watch cartoons for a while. Then, my boss' daughter calls and asks if mine can come over to play. I drop her off and pick up a pay check. After kidnapping my husband from work, I take him and the boys out to lunch. Then, Hunny decides to take the boys to work with him the rest of the day. Hmmm - what to do with myself. I do my grocery shopping - by myself, getting what I need and not a bunch of other stuff. Then I stop at a few specialty shops to browse. You know these shops - when three kids walk in, the person behind the counter has a heart attack. After wandering around those to my heart's content, I spend an hour visiting with a friend. Then, I return home and put my groceries away. Very soon, my men arrive home and I make them dinner. They settle in to watch a movie, and I spend the evening blogging and getting ready for potluck at church tomorrow. Aaah! Someday, I will have a great day like that.

Oh, wait. I just did.

Hope yours was great, too.

What made it great?
