The wife asked her husband
On their anniversary, the wife asked her husband, “Do you remember what today is?”
The husband immediately became nervous.
“Of course I do!”
She smiled. “Really? What is it?”
He thought for a moment and said, “It’s… our anniversary.”
She looked impressed.
“Wow! You actually remembered.”
The husband smiled proudly.
“Of course. I could never forget our anniversary.”
She gave him a hug.
Then she asked, “And do you remember what anniversary it is?”
His smile disappeared.
He looked at the ceiling, then at the floor, and finally at her.
“An important one?”
She laughed.
“You’re lucky you’re funny.”
He replied, “I was going for romantic, but funny is safer.”
She shook her head and said,
“That’s marriage. Sometimes you survive by knowing when to change the subject.”
