The other night I was invited out for a night with the girls. I told my husband that I will be home by midnight, I promise.
Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. Around 3 a.m, a bit loaded, I headed for home.
Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times.
I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him. Even when totally smashed… 3 cuckoos plus 9 totals= 12 Cuckoos MIDNIGHT.
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, and I told him MIDNIGHT… he didn’t seem angry in the least. Whew, I got away with that one.
Then he said, “We need a new cuckoo clock.”
I asked him why, and he said, “Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, uttered some swear words, cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and fell.”
After all, I'm only here as long as you are with me...
You are so nice!
MUAH!
Love always, Annette, "That's All!"

I can't give you anything but love, Baby.
That's the one thing I've got plenty of, Baby.
Dream awhile, scheme a while--you're sure to find
Happiness and I guess all those things you always pine for.
Gee, it's nice to see you looking swell, Baby--
Diamond bracelets Woolworth's doesn't sell, Baby.
Till the lucky day you know darn well, Baby,
I can't give you anything but love! "That's All!"
