Why Did He Marry This One?

**The elderly man was on his deathbed. **

**He had made his peace with God and was ready to leave this world. **

**But the smell of his favorite chocolate chip cookies came wafting up from the kitchen where his wife was baking. **

The smell was such a happy memory that he summoned what little strength he had and slipped out of bed, and fell down the stairs.

** The wonderful aroma was strong, so he crawled into the kitchen, where he could see the plate of cookies on the edge of the table.**

**He managed to reach toward the plate when his wife went WHACK sharply on his hand, saying, **

“Those are for the funeral!”

Hehehe!
He married her because he had failed to grow up, he still needed a mother.
Note that it’s the smell of cookies that got him out of bed and he went to the kitchen, just as he would have done as a kid waking up to hug his mother at breakfast.
Sadly, to her he was not just old, he was already dead!
