Gracious ***?
Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing could dampen her excitement, not even her parent's nasty divorce.
Her mother had 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 that her father's new, young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother.
Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to exchange it, but she absolutely refused. "Absolutely not. I look like a million bucks in this dress and I'm wearing it." she replied.
Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, "Never mind sweetheart. I'll get another dress, after all it's your special day."
A few days later, they went shopping and did find another gorgeous dress for her mother.
When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother if she was going to return the other dress, pointing out that she didn't really have another occasion where she could wear it.
Her mother just smiled and replied, "Of course I do dear......I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding."
