Soft music wasplaying, and the aroma ofperfume filled the room.“What are you doing?” sheasked.“I’m waiting for Mike tocome home from work,” thedaughter-in- law answered.“But you’re naked!” themother-in-law exclaimed.“This is my love dress,” thedaughter-in-law explained.“Love dress? But you’renaked!”“Mike loves me and wantsme to wear this dress,” sheexplained.” It excites himto no end. Every time hesees me in this dress, heinstantly becomes romanticand ravages me for hourson end.

He walked in andsaw her lying there soprovocatively. “What areyou doing?” he asked.“This is my love dress,” shewhispered sensually.“Needs ironing,” he said.“What’s for dinner?He never heard the gunshot.SeniorConnectorThe Seniors’Own Newspaperwww.seniorconnector.com439 Tranquille RoadKamloops, B.C.
