A newlywed couple had just returned from their honeymoon, and the young bride couldn’t wait to call her mother, who lived a couple of hours away. “How did everything go?” her mom asked, eager to hear about their romantic getaway.
The bride sighed and began, “Oh, mother, the honeymoon was wonderful! It was so romantic, and we had a terrific time. But on our way back, Andy started using really horrible language. Stuff I’d never heard before—terrible four-letter words. You’ve got to come get me and take me home. Please, Mother!” she sobbed over the phone.
Her mother, concerned, asked, “But honey, what four-letter words are you talking about?” The bride hesitated, crying, “I can’t tell you, mother, they’re too awful! Just come get me, please!”
