Birthday gift

[Az Old Noob]

A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd love to
be eight again." she replied. On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her off to the local 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, every thing there was. Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. Right away, they journeyed to a McDonald's where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake. Then it was off to the movies: the latest Star Wars epic, a hot dog, popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, and her favorite lolly and M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his precious 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!!!!!!!

The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he's gonna get
it wrong.

Honest to God, I had an similar situation...asked the ex what she wanted for her birthday and you know what she said...?

I've been giving you hints for the past year! I made the mistake of asking for a refresher list of hints...(its been 10 years and my eyes are still crossed )

Then she immediately assumed her pi$$ed-of attitude and put on her aggravated facial expression and sped off on her broom.

It's a mind reader you gotta be.

So, it doesn't matter how you approach the problem...the old battle Ax is going to make it your problem, regardless

Interestingly, prior to asking my fiancee what she wanted, I told her what happened in the past and laid out the ground rules...so if she wanted to dance to that same tune, don't let the door knob hit her in the butt on the way out of the door.

The moral is that if you ask first, you're screwed.
