After getting fired from Walmart a while back for my perceived lack of people skills, I heard of an opportunity for some work in an adjacent town. I jumped in the trusty Yugo and off I went. I am a real animal lover and driving through the desert I tried to swerve but ended up hitting a darn rabbit. I stopped my trusty Yugo as quick as I could and ran back and sure enough it was dead as a rabbit, well it was a rabbit. The point is it was dead.

A few tears began to swell up and I finally hear another car approach and some screeching of the tires. This blonde jumps out and asks why I am crying. "I feel terrible," he explains, "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it." She has a big smile and says "don't worry and runs back to her car. Her trunk flings open and she comes running back with a rather large spray can and she begins to squirt the rabbit.

Scratching my head I am wondering what the heck she is doing and all I want to do is get the poor thing off the road and buried. The blond yells hold on, so I wait. All of the sudden the rabbit jumps up, waves its paw at the two of us and hops off down the road.

Ten feet away the rabbit stops, turns around and waves again, he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves, hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.

I am absolutely astonished. I run over to the blonde and demand "What is in that can? What did you spray on that rabbit?" She turns the can around so I can read the can. I began to read "Hair Spray: Restores life to dead hair, adds permanent wave."

    Your wife told me that the other night while you all were in bed, you said to her "I'm going to make you the happiest woman in the world", to which she replied "I'll miss you ....."

    When did she tell you that... here is what really happened then it was "I'll miss you".

    My wife is real hard to buy presents for, she doesn't like jewelry or makeup (lucky me) and I wanted to do something special for her birthday.

    I remembered a few days prior we were talking about the grand kids. I wasn't listening real close but I recalled during or after the conversation she mentioned she wanted to be 6 again. I got to thinking there is a present I can do for her.

    So, I made a wingding out of it. She woke up on her birthday and I said get dressed we are going to make a day of it. I took her to the zoo got some popcorn and fed the animals. Then off to the ice cream parlor for a double scoop ice cream cone. Then off the the school yard to do some swinging and teeter-totter'n.

    Went to the corner drug store and got some penny ($1 now) candy then off to do some roller skating.

    Topped the day off by going to the county park and riding the Merry-Go-Round and some cotton candy.

    We got home and I said "Happy Birthday Dear, how did you like being 6 again"

    She looked at me, rolled her eyes, like she often does at me and my doings and said. "Honey.... I was talking about my dress size".

    Then the "I'll miss you".
