I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my husband
would be pleasant and say, 'Happy Birthday,' and
possibly have a small present for me.
As it turned out, he barely said good morning, let
alone Happy Birthday.
I thought....well, that's marriage for you, but the
kids.... they will remember.
My kids came bouncing down stairs to breakfast and
didn't say a word.
So when I left for the office I felt pretty low and
somewhat dejected.
As I walked into my office, my handsome boss, Rick,
said, 'Good morning, lady, and by the way Happy
Birthday!' It felt a little
better that at least someone had remembered.
I worked until one o'clock, when Rick knocked on my
door and said, 'It's such a beautiful day outside, and
it is your birthday, what
do you say we go out to lunch, just you and me.'
I said, 'Thanks, Rick, that's the greatest thing I've
heard all day. Let's go!'
We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally
would go. He
chose instead a quiet bistro with a private table. We
had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal
tremendously.
On the way back to the office, Rick said, 'It's such a
beautiful day..we don't need to go straight back to
the office, do we?'
I responded, 'I guess not. What do you have in mind?'
He said, 'Let's drop by my place, it's just around the
corner.
After arriving at his house, Rick turned to me and
said, 'If you don't mind, I'm going to step into the
bedroom for just a moment.
I'll be right back.'
'OK.' I nervously replied.
He went into the bedroom and, after a couple of
minutes, he came out carrying a huge birthday cake,
followed by my husband , my kids, and dozens of my
friends and co-workers, all singing 'Happy Birthday.'
And I just sat there....
on the couch....
NAKED!!!!
(I hate when that happens!) LOL
