A pregnant woman

  A pregnant woman A pregnant woman said to her husband, "What do you hope will be a boy or a girl?" The husband smiled and said, "If we have a boy, I will teach him math, we will go play, and I will teach him to fish." The wife again asked,  "What if it is a girl...?" The husband took a deep breath and said, "If we have a girl, I won't have to teach her anything." The wife asked curiously, "Why?"  The husband replied, "Because she will be the one who will teach me everything again - how to dress, how to eat, what to say or not to say. In a way, she will be my second mother. She will consider me her hero, whether I do anything special for her or not."  "Whenever I refuse her anything, she will understand me.

At bedtime, the 81-year-old woman said to her 83-year-old husband: "Listen... I just looked out the window, and I think the garage light is on. Would you get up and turn it off?" With great difficulty, the old man got out of bed, opened the door, and went outside. He saw five or six burglars tampering with the garage door. He immediately called the police station.  "Look... take down my address. It’s just my wife and me here, and five or six thieves are attacking my garage. Please send a police team quickly..." The dispatcher replied, "We've noted your address. Don't worry.  No team is available right now. I'll send someone as soon as I can get a team." Frustrated, the old man watched the burglars struggling with the garage locks. Two minutes later, he called the police station again: "Listen... there's no need to send anyone now. I’ve shot all five of them."  The police station erupted in chaos. Within five minutes, a polic...

How wonderful that she got her flowers.

“My husband would send me flowers on my birthday every year . I've had a very hard time with his passing. I knew he wasn't going to be around this year for my BD and I was "okay" with that, I knew I wasn't going to receive my flowers... two days before my birthday there was a knock on my door and yes, I got flowers. My brother-in-law had a dream that my husband told him that he needed to get flowers for me. He says he woke up and said "ok you want flowers for your lady I'll get her, her flowers" He didn't know my husband would do that for me. My brother-in-law lives in another city so he didn't know it was going to be my birthday either. I had fresh flowers on my 40th birthday from heaven, back in April'22″ How wonderful that she got her flowers.
