A woman awakes during the night to find that her
husband was not in their bed. She puts on her robe
and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him
sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in
front of him.
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 as she steps into the room, "Why are you down
here at this time of night?"
The husband looks up, "Do you remember 20 years
ago when we were dating, and you were only 16?" he
asks solemnly. 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 father
caught us in the back seat of my car making love?"
"Yes, I remember" says the wife, lowering herself
into a chair beside him.
The husband continues... "Do you remember when he
shoved a shotgun in my face and said, "either you
marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20
years?'"
"I remember that, too" she replies softly.
He wipes another tear from his cheek and says..."I
would have gotten out today!"
