Bert and Edna’s Porch Swing Confessions — and the Laugh That Lasted a Lifetime – Page 5

After nearly 60 years of marriage, Bert and Edna passed away together and found themselves at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter greeted them warmly and gave them a tour of their heavenly home — complete with a gourmet kitchen, a bubbling hot tub, a huge bedroom, and even a pool table.

Bert’s jaw dropped. “What’s the price tag on all this?”

“It’s heaven,” St. Peter laughed. “Everything is free.”

They were then taken to a championship golf course that changed daily to resemble the world’s best greens. Again — free.

Finally, they visited a five-star restaurant with an endless buffet: prime rib, lobster, fine desserts.

Bert eyed the spread cautiously. “Any low-fat, low-cholesterol options?”

St. Peter grinned. “You can eat anything here. No sickness, no weight gain.”

Bert’s Outburst

Bert’s face turned red. He pointed at Edna and shouted, “This is all your fault! If it weren’t for your paleo chicken and bran muffins, we could have been here years ago!”

Edna just sipped her tea — the same way she always had when Bert got worked up — and laughed.

Because after all those years, they both knew the secret to their happiness:
a little love, a little mischief, and always sharing the punchline together.
