Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that
morning.
I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say,
'Happy Birthday!', and possibly have a small present for me.
As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone ' Happy Birthday.'
I thought... Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids... They will
remember.
My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word. So
when I left for the office, I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.
As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, 'Good Morning Boss, and
by the way Happy Birthday! 'It felt a little better that at least someone
had remembered.
I worked until one o'clock ,when Jane knocked on my door and said, 'You
know, it's such a beautiful day outside, and it is your Birthday, what do
you say we go out to lunch, just you and me.' I said, 'Thanks, Jane, that's
the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's go!'
We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go. She chose
instead at a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two martinis each and
I enjoyed the meal tremendously.
On the way back to the office, Jane said, 'You know, It's such a beautiful
day... we don't need to go straight back to the office, Do We?'
I responded, 'I guess not. What do you have in mind?' She said, 'Let's drop
by my apartment; it's just around the corner.' After arriving at her
apartment, Jane turned to me and said,? Boss, if you don't mind, I'm going
to step into the bedroom for just a moment. I'll be right back.' 'Ok.' I
nervously replied.
She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out
carrying a huge birthday cake ... Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens
of my friends and co-workers,
all singing 'Happy Birthday'.
And I just sat there...
On the couch...
