JOTD - Thursday 5/13/10
Jack was soon going to be married to Jill, so his father sat him down for a little fireside chat.
Jack's father said, 'Jack, let me tell you something. On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite, I took off my pants and handed them to your mother, and said, 'Here - try these on.''
Jacks father continued, 'So, she did and replied, 'These are too big, I can't wear these pants.' So I replied to your mother, 'Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will.''
'Ever since that night we have never had any problems,' concluded Jack's father.
'Hmmm,' Jack said in reply. He thought his father's suggestion might be a good thing to establish on that day of new beginnings.
So on, his honeymoon Jack took off his pants and said to Jill, 'Here, try these on.'
So she did and said, 'These are too large, Jack. They don't fit me...'
Jack replied, 'Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. I don't want you to ever forget that.'
Then Jill took off her pants and handed them to Jack, as she said, 'Here, you try on mine!'
As she requested, he tried them. 'I can't get into your pants,' Jack said with a question in his tone.
Jill replied, 'Exactly. And if you don't change your attitude, you never will.'
