A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed. She finds him sitting at the dining room table. He appears deep in thought, just staring at the wall. She
watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of coffee.
"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers. "Why are you down here at this time of night?"
The husband looks up,
"Do you remember 40 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 18?" he asks. The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring and sensitive.
"Yes, I do," she replies.
The husband pauses. The words are not coming easily. "Do you remember when your mother caught us behind the couch making love?"
"I remember." says the wife.
The husband continues..."Do you remember when she shoved a shotgun in my face and said, ''Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 40 years?'"
"I remember" she says softly.
He wipes another tear and says "I would have gotten out today".
