the toss-up

a dear friend of mine shared the secret of success behind her 15 years of marriage.

about a year after their wedding, she and her husband were at her parents for dinner.
she expressed her desire for a new purse and her husband responded with incredulous exclamations about how she’d just bought her
current purse a few months ago!
how many does a person need?!
what a waste of money! etc etc etc…

at this moment, his sassy mexican mother-in-law
came storming in from the kitchen and exclaimed,
“son, i'm gonna teach you something about women!
women are FICKLE!
they need change!
so about every three months
it’s either
a new PURSE
or a new MAN – take your pick!”


he now counts himself lucky to be safe for another three months each time he sees his wife come home with a new purse. :)

That is so true! Interesting. I've never thought about that before!

See, why can't you women just change your nature and be satisfied? We men do it all the time! Give us a TV and a phone to order pizza with a credit card without a limit, and we would be set until our death bed.
