The Christmas Fifty Year Dare.

My mother bought my father

some red leather boxer shorts

for his Christmas Present.

It basically was a dare.

And my father got my mother

a set of handcuffs. The proper

metal kind with a key.

They have been married for fifty

years. And met when they

were both eighteen years of age.

It was always a long-running joke

between them.

That if they ever married.

And managed to make

fifty years together.

They would each

have a dare.

His was to wear

the red leather boxers

all day long on

Christmas Day

of that said year.

And She had to get

handcuffed all day

with her hands

in front of her.

And their children

and grandchildren would

cook the family meal for

that said day.

Well, you can imagine the

uproar in that house this

said day.

No one actually thought they

would do said dare.

But they did.

At least for a few hours.
