A light-hearted tale of rejuventation

A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd love to be eight again", she replied.

On the morning of her birthday, her loving husband arose early and made her a bowl of Coco Pops and jammy toasties! He then took her to a theme park and put her on the scariest rides - The Death Slide, The Wall of Fear, The Screaming Monster Roller Coaster.

Five hours later she staggered from the theme park with her head reeling and stomach upside down.

"Now let's have some food" said her husband, feeling that the day deserved to be rounded off in real style. The McDonalds Happy Meal included with extra fries, a sickly chocolate milkshake and a cheap plastic toy.

Then it was off to the movies to see the latest kiddies three hour epic cartoon, a hot dog, popcorn, all the Coke she could drink and lots and lots of her favourite ice-cream with M&Ms topping!

What a fabulous adventure! Finally, she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed onto the bed exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked "Well dear, what was it like being eight again?" Her eyes slowly opened and her expression changed to one of total frustration. "I meant dress size 8, you idiot!"
