Did you get it right?
Here is the rest of the clean anniversary dinner joke about the couple celebrating 50 years together with their successful children.
The Answer
The correct answer is: After hearing every child apologize for bringing no gift, the father smiled and said, “That is all right. Your mother and I forgot to tell you something too. We never got around to getting married.”.
Here is why
- Each child had a successful career but no time to bring an anniversary gift.
- The father acted calm through all three apologies.
- His surprise line flips the whole family dinner into the joke.
Why people miss it
