Proposal
There were two elderly people living in Trailer Estates, a Florida
mobile home park. He was a widower and she a widow. They had known
one another for a number of years.
One evening there was a community supper in the big activity center.
The two were at the same table, across from one another. As the meal
went on, he made a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered
his courage to ask her, "Will you marry me?"
After about six seconds of 'careful consideration, ' she answered.
"Yes. Yes, I will." The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant
exchanges, they went to their respective places.
Next morning, he was troubled. "Did she say 'yes' or did she say
'no'?" He couldn't remember. Try as he would, he just could not
recall. Not even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to the
telephone and called her. First, he explained that he didn't remember
as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As
he gained a little more courage, he inquired, "When I asked if you
would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?"
He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and
I meant it with all my heart." Then she continued, "I am so glad that
you called, because I couldn't remember who had asked me."
