My father and mother were recently celebrating their 50th weddinganniversary. While cutting the cake, my mother was moved afterseeing my father?s eyes fill with tears. Mother took his arm, andlooked at him affectionately. „I never knew you were sosentimental,“ she whispered.“No, no,“ he said, choking back his tears, „that?s not it at all.Remember when your father found us in the barn and told me to eithermarry you or spend the next 50 years in jail?““Yes,“ my mother replied. „I remember it like yesterday.““Well,“ said my father, „today I would have be a free man!“
