I woke up early, feeling depressed because it was my birthday, and I thought, "I'm another year older," but decided to make the best of it. So, I showered and shaved, knowing when I sent down to breakfast my wife would greet me with a big kiss and say, "Happy birthday, dear."

All smiles, I went in to breakfast, and there sat my wife, reading her newspaper, as usual. She didn't say one word. So, I got myself a cup of coffee, made some toast and thought to myself: "Oh well, she forgot. The kids will be down in a few minutes, smiling and happy, and they will sing 'Happy Birthday' and have a nice gift for me."

There I sat, enjoying my coffee, and I waited. Finally, the kids came running into the kitchen, yelling: "Give me a slice of toast! I'm late! Where is my coat? I'm going to miss the bus!" Feeling more depressed than ever, I left for the office.

When I walked into the office, my secretary greeted me with a great big smile and a cheerful "Happy birthday, Boss."

She then asked if she could get me some coffee. Her remembering my birthday made me feel a whole lot better.

Later in the morning, my secretary knocked on my office door and said: "Since it's your birthday, why don't we have lunch together?" Thinking it would make me feel better, I said, "That's a good idea."

So, we locked up the office, and since it was my birthday, I said: "Why don't we drive out of town and have lunch in the country instead of going to the usual place?"

So, we drove out of town and went to a little out-of-the-way inn and had a couple of martinis and a nice lunch. We started driving back to town, when my secretary said "Why don't we go to my place, and I will fix you another martini?"

This sounded like a good idea and we didn't have much to do in the office.

So, we went to her apartment and she fixed us some martinis.

After a while, she said: "If you will excuse me, I think I will slip into something more comfortable," and she left the room.

In a few minutes, she opened her bedroom door and came out carrying a big birthday cake ..

Following her were my wife and my children ..

And there I sat .. with nothing on but my socks!
