What Did Your Husband Buy For You When You Had Your First Child?

Two delicate blossoms of Southern femininity, one from

Mississippi and the other from Texas, were conversing on the

porch swing of a large white-pillared mansion. The

Mississippian said, “When my first child was born, my

husband built this beautiful mansion for me.” The Texan

lady commented, “Well, isn’t that nice?” The lady from

Mississippi continued, “When my second child was born, my

husband bought me that fine Cadillac automobile you see

parked in the drive.” Again, the Texas lady commented,

“Well, isn’t that nice?” The first woman boasted,

“Then, when my third child was born, my husband bought me

this exquisite diamond bracelet.” Yet again, the Texas

lady commented, “Well, isn’t that nice?” The first

woman then asked her companion, “What did your husband buy

for you when you had your first child?” The Texas lady

replied, “My husband sent me to charm school.” “Charm

school!” the first woman cried. “Land sakes, child, what

on Earth for?” The Texas lady responded, “So that

instead of saying, ‘Who gives a crap’, I learned to say,

‘Well, isn’t that nice?'”
