Old man gets one last gift and he’s very excited

An elderly man lies dying in his bed. In death’s agony, he suddenly smells the aroma of his favorite chocolate chip cookies wafting up the stairs. He gathers his remaining strength, lifts himself from the bed, and slowly makes his way out of the bedroom.

With labored breaths, he staggers down the stairs into the hall and gazes into the kitchen. Here, spread out upon racks on the kitchen table and counters are literally hundreds of his favorite chocolate chip cookies – a final act of love from his devoted wife, seeing to it that he leaves this world a happy man.

Mustering one great final effort, the old man throws himself toward the table and lands on his knees. He reaches out a withered hand toward a tray of cookies – when “Whack!” He’s suddenly struck with a spatula.

“You stay out of those,” says his wife. “Them’s for the funeral!”

That’s tough love!
