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 as a gift. “I’d like to be eight again,” she replied, still looking in the mirror.
On the morning of her birthday, he rose 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, with popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&Ms. 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 idiot!"
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.I WISH THAT I WAS 8 AGAIN

I think it is wise to stop considering that as men we would ever get it right. Why torture ourselves?

LOL, being married 47 years myself, I learned way in the beginning that no matter how well I think I'm listening, I'm not hearing what is being said. I found that nodding my head in agreement to everything is the only way.

Well George, if you survived the supreme test for 47 years, you must be doing something right. Nodding is good........saying "yeah, for sure" and "you're right dear" can go a long way to making a marriage last. I didn't do that but as usual I learned it the hard way....it just doesn't come naturally; especially if you're not listening!
