My Life Is A Joke

Gavin's cousin got married this weekend and Gavin's jazz combo played at the reception. And let me tell you... the singer of the jazz combo is gorgeous - by this I mean she is the most beautiful person I've ever seen in real life.

But anyway... at one point in the evening, the combo took a break and Gavin was chatting with Matt (his brother). In the meantime, Jenn (the singer) and I chatted - she wanted to know about Gavin's family and I pointed out Gavin's parents, Matt and Dena (Matt's wife).

Jenn noticed Matt was carrying his daughter, Jolie. I saw the look in her eyes and knew she wanted to carry Jolie (Jenn loves babies and especially lurves to carry them), so I asked her if she wanted to carry Jolie. Jenn said she would love to carry Jolie, if it was okay with Matt and Dena. Since Matt and Dena have always allowed Jolie to be carried by anyone (even as a newborn in the hospital, they insisted everyone carry her when they visited), I knew it wouldn't be a problem.

I said, "Matt, Auntie Jenn wants to carry Jolie." Matt came over and handed Jolie to Jenn. Jenn cooed at Jolie and Jolie laughed.

Not 30 seconds later, Dena came around, hit Matt, Matt took Jolie out of Jenn's arms, Dena took Jolie away from Matt and walked away, obviously upset.

Jenn felt awful. She didn't mean to upset Dena by carrying Jolie.

So I told her, "Don't feel bad. But if you think about it, it's pretty hilarious. In fact, this is the first time I've ever had a joke come to life in front of me."

What joke you ask?

This joke.

A man approached a beautiful woman in supermarket and said, "I've lost my wife. Can you talk to me for a couple of minutes?"

The woman looked puzzled. "Why?" she asked.

"Because every time I talk to a woman with breasts like yours, my wife appears out of nowhere."
