Shortly after the birth
of their second
child, her husband offered to take her shopping for a
new dress. He
endured more than two hours of listening to her complaints

husband’s opinion. By this time, he had learned just the right things to

say. “It’s perfect!” he exclaimed. “It makes your waist look

smaller, your legs look longer and slenderizes your hips.”

a voice from the dressing room piped up. “If there’s a
dress here
that will do all that- I’ll take ten!”
