Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up that morning. I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would wish me a happy birthday, maybe a little gift, as it turned out she barely said good morning, let alone happy birthday. I thought "well, that's marriage for ya, But the kids, they will remember." They came downstairs moving about their morning, but didn't say a word, I left for work feeling low and a little disappointed. I got to the office and my secretary, Jane said "Good morning boss, happy birthday!" "Thank you Jane" So I started to work feeling a little better, someone had remembered my birthday, at noon Jane came in and asked me, "You know it's such a nice day, what do you say we go out for lunch, it being your birthday and all, it'll be nice, just you and me?!" "Jane, that's the best thing I've heard all day". She drove taking us not to the place we go to for lunches, but an out of the way restaurant, a private both, a couple of cocktails, it was my birthday after all. On the way back she said to me, "We don't need to go right back do we? Lets stop by my place, it's just around the corner." a little surprised I said "Sure, Why not!". After getting to her apartment she excused herself "If you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bath for just a moment, I'll be right back." Moments later she returned carrying a big cake, followed by my wife, the kids and a few friends singing "Happy Birthday"!! And I just sat there, On the couch, Naked! |
