一種叫理所當然的習慣

上了一天班，回到家裡，丈夫只會粗聲粗氣的說：

「飯煮好了沒？我餓死了。」

對妻子的忙碌辛苦視而不見。



有一天，丈夫帶著未婚獨居的同事回家，

同事一進門，老婆接過兩人的公事包和外套，

丈夫還是老話：「飯煮好了沒？」

同事卻說：「大嫂，對不起，麻煩你了。」



看到一桌熱騰騰的飯菜，同事感動的差點掉下淚來：

「一回家就有熱飯熱菜可吃的感覺真好！

哪像我，每天回家都只有冰冷的牆壁迎接我。」



然後埋頭拼命吃菜，彷彿一輩子都沒吃過飯的；

對老婆的手藝讚不絕口，

一盤簡單的炒青菜都被他說得像什麼山珍海味的。

老婆眉開眼笑，不斷的夾菜給同事，還說：「請用。」



老公反而被冷落一邊。



吃完飯，老公照例拍拍屁股，

想移到客廳沙發看電視、聊聊天，

正想開口叫老婆倒茶；

那個不識好歹的同事，竟然幫忙收拾碗筷，

還不忘跟老婆道謝：

「大嫂，謝謝你費心做這麼豐盛的晚餐請我。

這些碗盤我來洗就好。」



老婆當然不會讓客人洗碗。







這時，丈夫說：「泡茶。」

雞婆的同事居然說：

「大嫂，你告訴我茶葉在哪裡，我自已來就好。」



同事走了之後，老婆一邊洗澡一邊唱歌。

丈夫問你為什麼那麼高興？

老婆說：

「我煮了十幾年的菜給你吃，

你從來也沒有跟我說一聲謝謝。

吃完飯不但不幫忙洗碗，

還要我泡茶侍候你。

你看看你那個同事多懂事。」



老公回答：

「因為他第一次來我們家啊，

因為他不認識你啊，

你等著看好了，看他結婚之後，會不會跟老婆說謝謝。」



為什麼？

為什麼面對至親的人，我們總覺得一切都是理所當然，

而忽略了最基本的禮貌和感謝？



老婆為什麼一定要煮飯？

因為那是她的工作、她份內的事？

因為她愛你。



丈夫為什麼要辛苦工作受到老闆指責、剝削仍然不敢辭職？

因為他愛你。







愛不是理所當然，愛是得來不易。



有人說，女人最傻，只要你給她一句讚美、一句感謝，

她就會無怨無悔的為你做牛馬。



其實男人也是。

在家的時候，放一缸熱水，

接過他沈重的公事包，跟他說聲：老公你辛苦了。

他在辦公室受到再大的委屈，也忘的一乾二淨。



只是一句讚美，只是一句「請、謝謝、對不起」，

愛情裡多了多少甜蜜和安慰？

下一次，別忘了對你的愛人說：謝謝你。







幸福的長相：

一句平凡的話語，卻有著神奇的力量。

BAKED BEANS

If this doesn't make you laugh out loud, nothing will...
Once there lived a woman who had a maddening passion for baked beans.
She loved them but unfortunately, they had always had a very
embarrassing and somewhat lively reaction to her and has to let go a huge gust of gas.

One day she met a man and fell in love. When it became apparent that
they would marry she thought to herself, 'He is such a sweet and gentle
man, he would never go for this carrying on.' She made the supreme sacrifice and gave up beans.

Some months later, her car broke down on the way home from work.
Since she lived in the country she called her husband and told him that
she would be late because she had to walk home.

On her way, she passed a small diner and the odour of the baked beans
was more than she could stand. Since she still had miles to walk, she
figured that she would walk off any ill effects by the time she reached home.

So, she stopped at the diner and before she knew it, she had consumed three
large orders of baked beans.
All the way home she putt-putted, and upon arriving home she felt
Reasonably sure she could control it. Her husband seemed excited to see
her and exclaimed delightedly,
'Darling, I have a surprise for dinner tonight.'
He then blindfolded her and led her to her chair at the table.
She seated herself and just as he was about to remove the blindfold from
his wife, the telephone rang. He made her promise not to touch the
blindfold until he returned.
He then went to answer the telephone.

The baked beans she had consumed were still affecting her and the
pressure was becoming almost unbearable, so while her husband
was out of the room she seized the opportunity, shifted her weight
to one leg and let it go.

It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running
over a skunk in front of pulpwood mill. She took her napkin and fanned the air around her vigorously. Then, she shifted to the other cheek and ripped
three more, which reminded her of cooked cabbage.
Keeping her ears tuned to the conversation in the other room, she went
on like this for another ten minutes. When the telephone farewells
signaled the end of her freedom, she fanned the air a few more times with her napkin, placed it on her lap and folded her hands upon it, smiling
contentedly to herself. She was the picture of innocence when her
husband returned, apologizing for taking so long. He asked her if she peeked
and she assured him that she had not.
At this point, he removed the blindfold ... and she almost died of
embarrassment!!
Seated in front of her were twelve dinner guests invited by her husband
to the dinner.
Each of them was turning blue from holding their breath.

A PRETTY woman was serving a life sentence in prison. Angry and resentful about her situation, she decided that she would rather die than live another year behind bars. Over the years she had become good friends with one of the prison caretakers. His job, among others, was to bury those prisoners who had died, in a graveyard just outside the prison walls.

Each time someone died, the caretaker would ring a bell, which could be heard by everyone. He then got the body and put it in a casket. Next, he would go to his office to fill out the death certificate before returning to nail the casket lid shut. Finally, he would put the casket on a wagon and take it out to the graveyard for burial.

The woman, who knew this routine, devised an escape plan which she shared with the caretaker. The next time the bell rang, she would leave her cell and sneak into the dark room where the coffins were kept. She would then slip in and lie beside the body while the caretaker filled out the death certificate. When he returned, he would nail the lid shut and carry the coffin out of the prison, with the woman inside. He would then proceed to bury the coffin.

The woman knew there would be enough air for her to breathe until later in the evening, when the caretaker would return under the cover of darkness, dig up the coffin, and set her free.

Initially, he was reluctant to go along with this plan. But since he and the woman had become good friends over the years, he agreed.

The woman waited several weeks before someone in the prison died. She was asleep in her cell when the bell rang. She got up, picked the lock of her cell, and slowly walked down the hallway. She was nearly caught a couple of times; her heart was pounding.

She opened the door to the room where the coffins were kept. After some groping in the dark, she found the one that contained the body, climbed into it and pulled the lid shut.

Soon she heard footsteps, followed by the pounding of hammer on nails. Even though she was very uncomfortable in the coffin, she knew that with each nail, she was one step closer to freedom.

The coffin was lifted onto a wagon and taken out to the graveyard. The woman could feel it being lowered into the ground. She didn't make a sound as it hit the bottom of the grave with a thud.

Finally she heard the dirt hitting the top of the wooden coffin, and she knew that it was only a matter of time before she would be free again. After several minutes of absolute silence, she began to laugh. She felt free!

Then, feeling curious, she decided to light a match to find out the identity of the prisoner beside her. To her horror, she found herself staring at the stiff caretaker!

Many people believe they have life all figured out. But sometimes, things just don't turn out the way they plan.

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.

Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.

The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence He said, 'You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out.

It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. ' A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.'

The Moral of this story is " never ever throw your bad temper to someone you love and care"
