My Wonderful Wife: “You kids are going to Parent’s Night Out on Saturday.”
Little Miss Thing (age 5): “Why?”
WW: “So Daddy and I can go on a date.”
LMT: “Why?”
WW: “So we can spend time together and see a movie.”
LMT: “WHY?”
WW: “Because we love each other and like spending time together.”
LMT: “Without US?”
“When all the people in the world love one another, then the strong will not overpower the weak, the many will not oppress the few, the wealthy will not mock the poor, the honoured will not disdain the humble, and the cunning will not deceive the simple.” — Mo Tzu, 400 BC.
“Love” may be a fairy tale, but “Marriage” is spending the first half of Date Night finding a self-service car wash so you can spray the dog poop off your shoes and scrub the floor mats of the mini-van.
