Overheard in the Women's Department at Macy's

Husband to his wife (in their 70's): "Honey, this is it...this is the exact dress that you were wearing in my dream! You looked so beautiful. Will you try it on for me?"

My heart skipped a beat as I overheard his excitement for how much he still loved her after all these years of marriage. Well, I'm assuming that's the case anyway...I mean, I suppose it's possible she's his mistress and his poor wife is at home all alone but that's not very fun now is it? So I'm going with the first thought.

I hope I'm still having those conversations with my husband when we're 70!

Did you see the dress? I'd be curious. Sweet story though.

Actually I was at the cash register and they were right behind me. I did not see the exact dress but do know that it was black as all the dresses on the rack were black.
