THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT XIII

   Not one for remembering dates, my uncle bounced into his house one day with a big package under his arm and proudly bellowed, "Happy fifth anniversary, Honey! I bet you thought I'd forget!"
   "You're right - this is a surprise," my aunt answered, "considering this is the anniversary of your first marriage."

   I was leaving the grocery store with my three young sons when I spotted an Army tank loaded onto a flatbed truck with soldiers standing nearby. Knowing how my boys love anything that has to do with the military, I remarked, "Ooohhh, soldiers!"
   One of the men gave me a sheepish but somewhat flirtatious grin. Only then did I realize I was standing there alone. My boys had stopped at the gumball machine inside the store.
