The Wedding Dress

"Slacks"

Having lost weight over the past few years,
a lady was discarding things from her
wardrobe that no longer fit. Her seven-year-
old niece was watching as she held up a
huge pair of slacks.

"Wow," the lady said, "I must have worn
these when I was 183."

Her niece looked puzzled, then asked,
"How old are you now?"

"The Wedding Dress"

Betty was soon to be married. More than
anything, she wanted to wear the wedding
dress her mother was married in. Betty's
mother was beaming with pride as she
gave her consent. Later in the evening, the
family gathered in the living room to wait
while Betty tried on the dress.

When Betty entered the room, there was a
chorus of approval. The dress fit perfectly and
looked wonderful on her. Tears ran down the
face of Betty's mother. Seeing this, Betty said,
"Don't worry Mom, you're not losing a daughter,
your gaining a son."

"Forget about that!" she said with a sob.
"I used to fit into that dress!"
