A Cute Couple

[phkrause]

Moishe and Miriam Epstein, in their late 80s called a handyman to do some work around their condo.

“Honey why don’t you sit down by the table and we’ll start supper,” said Miriam to Moishe, husband of 50 years.

“Sure thing,” Moishe replied, settling himself down.

“Now darling, would you like the soup first or the salad?” asked Miriam.

“Umm I guess I’ll take the soup,” Moishe responded.

After a whole meal of one endearing term after another, the handyman who was watching in disbelief couldn’t contain his curiosity any longer. He snuck into the kitchen and asked, “Excuse me Mrs. Epstein. Do you always talk to your husband like that?”

“Son, I’ll be honest with you,” Miriam replied. “It’s been five years now, and I just can’t remember his name but I am just too embarrassed to ask!”
