I heard this joke the other day and thought I’d share it as it highlights some values that are worth reflecting on.
John wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces himself to open his eyes and the first thing he sees are a couple of Panadol and a glass of water on the beside table.
He sits up and sees his clothing all laid out, clean and pressed. He looks around the room and finds it in perfect order, spotlessly clean.
He takes the tablets and notices a note on the sidetable. ‘Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to do some shopping. Love you.’
So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough, there is a hot breakfast and the morning newspaper.
His daughter is also sitting at the table, eating her breakfast. Puzzled, John asks his daughter, "What is going on?"
She told him, “Well dad, last night you came home at 3am drunk and delirious. You broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door.”
“So why is everything spotless, and why is your mother being so nice to me?”
“Well, when you got in, mum dragged you to the bedroom and as she tried to take your pants off, you starting pushing her away, shouting, ‘Please lady, leave me alone, I am married!’”
When I heard this joke I couldn't stop laughing!
It is such a wonderful reminder that when there is commitment, honesty and trust in a relationship, just about everything else is forgivable.
Keep the light shining on the love.
