Forgiveness
Published Jan 01, 1900
Early in their marriage, the old perfesser did something really stupid. Doesn't matter what it was, for the sake of this story, just trust me... it was stupid.
Mrs. Perfesser chewed him out for it. Knowing it was really dumb, he sensibly apologized, and they made up.
However, from time to time, MrsPerfesser reminds him what a dolt he had been on that occasion.
"Honey," the old perfesser finally said one day, "why do you keep bringing that up? I thought your policy was 'forgive and forget'?"
"It is," said MrsPerfesser. "I just don't want you to forget that I've forgiven and forgotten."
