A couple was in a busy shopping mall just before Valentine’s Day.
The wife turned around and suddenly realized her husband was missing.
Annoyed — because they had a lot to get done — she called him on his cell phone.
“Where the hell are you?” she snapped.
“You know we’ve got loads to do this morning, and you wander off like a child! What’s wrong with you?”
He replied calmly,
“Sweetheart… do you remember the jewelry store we went into about 20 years ago when we were first married? You fell in love with that beautiful diamond necklace. I couldn’t afford it at the time, and I promised that one day I would buy it for you.”
She paused.
A tear welled up in her eye and slowly rolled down her cheek. Her voice trembled.
“Yes,” she said softly, “I remember that store.”
“Well…” he replied,
“I’m in the gun shop next door to that.”
