7. It was probably over 20 years ago that this occurred. But as it turned out tonight...

My wife turned off the TV after dinner. She turned on the radio to a Christmas music station, then she laid down on the couch.

I almost never sit on the couch with her (I have a chair that I like to sit in), but tonight I picked up her feet and sat down on the couch with her feet in my lap.

We were sitting there quietly, not speaking, just listening to the Christmas music.

This song came on the radio.

I see my wife's face out of the corner of my eye, and she's smiling. I looked at her a few seconds later and she had tears streaming down her face because she's trying not to laugh.

Then we both started screaming laughing.

And not a word was said about this incident that happened a long time ago, but we both knew why we were laughing!
