Please Try Not To Laugh
Please try not to laugh
Today is Friday payday and I receive my check.
As I try to cash the check it bounces suddenly.
I call my job who states call back on Monday.
I tell my wife what happened she states "I told you to get direct deposit."
I am frustrated and head straight home to rest.
My German shepherd hides behind a couch due to a mouse.
Suddenly the electricity cuts off in the entire house.
I hear "I told you get direct deposit once more."
Candles begin to burn to provide illumination.
My dog peaks his head up to see if mouse is waiting.
My Wife says "please listen to me next time".
Later that day My wife has a request
She says "please play these Mega Millions numbers I feel they are blessed."
I agree and confirm that I will
The sun rises providing light in house.
I hear excitement joy and screams coming from my spouse.
We won we won is all that I hear
She urges to see the ticket to confirm that wealth is near.
Now please someone tell me how do I tell my wife I forgot.
I know I will tell the dog ate the ticket.
Please try not to laugh
