A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their

bed. She puts on her dressing gown and goes downstairs to look for him and

finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a mug of hot tea.


He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall.


She watches him wipe a tear from his eye as he takes a sip of his tea.


"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. Why are

you down here at this time of night?"


The husband looks up from his tea. "Do you remember twenty years ago when

we were dating, and you were nearly 16?" he asks solemnly.


"Yes, I do," she replies.


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 will ensure you go to

prison for twenty years?"


"I remember that, too" she replied softly.


He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, "I would have been out

today."

Såg att många tyckte om den så jag tänkte såhär. Om ni hade varit i det läget och bruden verkligen hade varit skitfull och ni hade legat med henne på fyllan eller något och farsan hade hittat er. Vad hade ni gjort gift er eller skakat galler???
