A married couple in their early sixties were celebrating their fortieth wedding anniversary in a romantic restaurant. Suddenly, a fairy godmother appeared. She said, "For being such an exemplary married couple, I will grant you each a wish." The wife answered, "I want to travel around the world with my darling husband." The fairy waved her magic wand and poof!—two tickets for the Queen Mary 2 appeared. The husband thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, I'm sorry, sweetheart, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me." The wife and the fairy were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish. So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!—the husband became 92 years old. The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful should remember fairy godmothers are female.
*There were 14,000 witnesses—it was at the Women's Conference, hosted by Maria Shriver in 2009.
