Jennifers wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement –
not even her parents’ nasty divorce.
Her mother had found the perfect dress to wear, and would be the best-dressed
mother of the bride ever!
A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father’s new, young wife had
bought the exact same dress as her mother.
Jennifer asked her father’s new young wife to exchange it, but she refused. “Absolutely
not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I’m wearing it,” she replied.Jennifer
told her mother who graciously said, “Never mind sweetheart. I’ll get another dress. After all, it’s your special day.”
A few days later, they went shopping, and did find another gorgeous dress for her
mother.
When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, “Aren’t you going to return
the other dress? You really don’t have another occasion where you could wear it.”
Her mother just smiled and replied, “Of course I do, dear. I’m wearing it to the
rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.”
