Azat Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 A woman awoke during the night to find that her husband was not in bed. She put on her robe and went downstairs. He was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appeared to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She saw him wipe a tear from his eye and take a sip of his coffee. "What's the matter, dear?" she whispered as she stepped into the room. "Why are you down here at this time of night?" The husband looked up from his coffee. "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 16?" he asked. "Yes, I do" she replied. The husband paused. The words were not coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car making love?" "Yes, I remember" said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him. The husband continued. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter, or I'll send you to jail for 20 years?" "I remember that, too" she replied softly. He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "I would have gotten out today..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
