Wife After Thirty

The Friday before my wife’s and my 30th anniversary, she had planned to visit an old friend across the country. She would be flying back on Monday, in time for us to have a dinner out before going home.

I had a staff meeting Friday morning. I dropped my wife off at the airport, then drove to work for the meeting. At the beginning of our staff meeting, my boss asked if anyone had good news. I thought I’d share my upcoming anniversary like this:

Me: “This morning, my wife left me…”

Cue shocked expressions from many in the meeting.

Me: “…to visit a friend in DC. But she’ll be flying back on Monday to celebrate our 30th anniversary.”

I got a few good laughs out of that.
