How to be a Gracious Bitch*

Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement-- not even her parent's 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.

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.'

NOW I ASK YOU - IS THERE A WOMAN OUT THERE, ANYWHERE, WHO WOULDN'T ENJOY THIS STORY?


None that I know of, Doug.

*I tried to think of a less offensive word that made the same exact point, but none came to mind. I even thought of putting asterisks to substitute for the middle letters, but I thought that would be taking the cowardly way out. Sooooo.....excuse my language!

    Rick+, I'm glad you worked out why the mother would be a b... You couldn't say it, could you? Anyhow, explaining a joke makes the joke disappear - poof!
