Three adults seated at a round table in a formal restaurant setting. Two people, a man and a woman on the left, appear engaged in conversation, the man gesturing with his hands. The third person, an older man sitting opposite them, looks serious and slightly surprised. A speech bubble with an exclamation mark points to him, indicating he is reacting to the conversation. The table is set with wine glasses, plates, and a lit candle between them.

Secret Message

Posted inHumorNo Comments

My husband, Michael, and I were at a restaurant with his boss, a rather stern older man. When Michael started telling a story I was sure he’d already shared, I gave him a kick under the table.

There was no response, so I gave him another poke. Still the story went on.

Suddenly he stopped, grinned and said, “Oh, but I’ve told you this one before, haven’t I?”

We all chuckled and changed the subject. Later, on the dance floor, I asked my husband why it had taken him so long to get my message.
