MY 18-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER INTRODUCED HER NEW 55-YEAR-OLD BOYFRIEND – I WAS SHOCKED UNTIL AN ANGRY WOMAN BURST IN My just-turned-adult daughter left me at a loss for words by saying she's going to marry a 55-YEAR-OLD MAN! To say I was floored would be putting it mildly. I rushed to convince her not to do it: Me: "Megan, what are you doing with him? He's…" Daughter: "Older? Maybe that's exactly WHAT I NEED." Me: "But, Megan… he's not just older. He's more like a GRANDPA to you!" Daughter: "I LOVE HIM! If you meddle, you'll never see me again." I begged her to think about the future, but it was like she was under a spell! She wouldn't listen to me, and I was almost ready to give a green light to their relationship… But then, a loud knock shattered the silence. In an instant, a woman with tear-streaked eyes burst into the hallway. She shot a furious look in our direction and shouted, "YOU! YOU TOLD ME I WAS THE ONLY ONE!"👇
Agnes was overjoyed when she learned her granddaughter Clara was finally getting married and offered to use all of her money to pay for the wedding. However, things didn't go as planned. "She's not coming, guys. How can you even think of inviting grandma to the wedding?" Clara yelled at her parents one evening. "But, honey," her mother explained, "she paid for the wedding." "Come on, Mom! Just because she paid, doesn't mean we invite her. Don't you remember what the doctors said? Her dementia is worsening! If that old hag shows up at the wedding, I swear I'll cancel everything!" "Enough!" her father chimed in. "She's your grandmother. At the very least, show some decency!" "I don't care, dad! I'm serious. That woman isn't coming. It's my wedding, and I'm taking her name off the guest list right now!"
I'd been away on a business trip, and after finishing early, I booked a surprise flight home for my husband, Ben. I imagined his face lighting up when I walked through the door. We hadn't had much "us" time lately, and I wanted to make it special. The house was quiet, just as I'd expected. Assuming Ben was in his office, I stepped into the backyard — then, I FROZE. Near the garden was Ben, frantically shoveling dirt. And in front of him lay a LARGE BLACK EGG. It wasn't like anything I'd ever seen — huge, glossy, and pitch black, like something out of a fantasy movie. I almost laughed, thinking it might be a prank, but Ben's expression stopped me. His hands were shaking, and he looked around nervously. "Ben?" I called softly. He froze, then turned to face me, full of panic. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" he asked, his voice trembling and loud. "I wanted to surprise you. What's going on? What is… that?" "IT'S NOTHING!" he said quickly, looking away. "Ben, I don't think that's 'NOTHING.' What is it? And why didn't you tell me you were doing this?" His expression faltered. "Trust me. I'm just doing what needs to be done." But my instincts told me something was off. The next day, when Ben left for work, I couldn't resist — I HAD TO DIG UP THAT THING!⬇️
