The PERFECT Dress

Her mother Carol finally found the PERFECT dress to wear and would be the best dressed mother of the bride EVER!
A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn her new young stepmother had purchased the same dress.
She asked Barbie, her stepmother, to exchange the dress, but Barbie refused, "Absolutely not! I'm going to wear this dress; I'll look like a million bucks in it!"
Jennifer told her mother, who graciously replied, "Never mind, dear, after all it's your special day, not hers."
Two weeks later, another dress was finally found for Jennifer's mom. When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, "What are you going to do with the first dress? You don't have any place to wear it."
Carol grinned and replied, "Of course, I do, dear! I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner!"
