They played games at the arcade, tried to win a giant teddy bear, and walked miles around the park. By late afternoon, she was slumped on a bench—tired, barefoot, and overwhelmed.
Finally home, she collapsed onto the bed. He leaned over, kissed her forehead, and said proudly, “So? What was it like being six again?”
She looked at him, exhausted, and muttered, “I meant my dress size.”
He blinked. Then laughed. She didn’t.
The lesson? Even with the best intentions, communication can go hilariously off track.
What he heard and what she meant were two very different things—a common occurrence in relationships. Sometimes words carry layers of meaning. One person’s playful comment becomes another’s grand adventure.
But here’s the bright side: he cared enough to plan something special. His heart was in the right place, even if the details weren’t.
And her response? Graceful, if slightly sarcastic.
Takeaway: Clarify before you plan. Listen carefully, and when in doubt—maybe skip the rollercoasters… and just buy the dress.
