Dont skip please:
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 made her a nice
big bowl of Coco Pops, and then took her 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, you silly!"
Moral:
"Even when a man is listening, he's gonna get it wrong."

I certainly did

I was thinking "eight!?

You wanna spend your birthday back at an age where you can't drive, can't vote, can't drink, can't state an opinion without someone older and wiser telling you to shut your trap, and where at the end of the day someone will tell you to go upstairs and clean your room?

Its better if you come right out and say it like it is. Men and women definitely think differently. I remember when my husband and I were newlyweds and I just assumed he knew what was on my mind. I quickly learned that my husband was not psychic.

I thought she meant 8 years old, too. If I were her, I would've said "I'd love to be an eight again."

Or this joke could just show that women seem physically incapable of actually telling you what's on their minds. "If you don't know than I'm not going to tell you"...What is that?
Anyway I personally would have thought she meant eight years old as well, she should have said "I want to be *a* size eight".

i totally agree w/ henpeck69 if you want your husband to know what you want, you have to tell him. i have a friend whose husband tries so hard to please her when it comes to gifts. he'll spend so much money and he really tries, but she will not tell him what she wants and therefore she is never happy with what he buys her. she blames him! she assumes that since they are married he should some how magically know what she wants!
good grief! i'd much rather tell my hubby what i want and get something good than end up with some weird parody of what he thinks i might want!
