Two informally dressed ladies happened to
start-up a conversation during an endless
wait in Toronto's Terminal 3 airport.
The first lady was an affluent Torontonian
married to a wealthy business man. The
second was a well-mannered elderly woman
from Bell Island, Newfoundland.
When the conversation centered on whether
they had any children, the Torontonian
woman started by saying, "When my first
child was born, my husband built a beautiful
mansion for me."
The lady from Bell Island commented,
"Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued, "When my
second child was born, my husband bought
me a beautiful Mercedes-Benz.
Again, the lady from Bell Island commented,
"Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman continued boasting, "Then,
when my third child was born, my husband
bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet.
Yet again, the Bell Island lady commented,
"Well, isn't that precious?"
The first woman then asked her companion,
"What did your husband buy for you when
you had your first child?"
"My husband sent me to charm school,"
declared the Bell Island lady.
"Charm school?" the first woman cried,
"Oh, my Lord! What on earth for?"
The elderly Bell Island lady responded,
"Well as an example, instead of saying,
"Who gives a f@ck?", I learned to say,
"Well, isn't that precious."
