A young couple had just gotten married and headed off on their honeymoon.
When they returned, the bride immediately called her mother.
“Mom, the honeymoon was amazing! So romantic! Everything was perfect…”
Then suddenly, she burst into tears.
“But, Mom… as soon as we got home, Sam started using the most horrible language!”
Her mother gasped.
“What?! What did he say?”
“Terrible four-letter words! Things I’ve never heard him say before!”
Her mother tried to stay calm.
“Sarah, sweetheart, tell me what these horrible words were.”
“Oh, Mom, I’m too embarrassed!”
“Please, darling. You have to tell me.”
The bride sniffled and finally whispered,
“They were words like…”
“DUST…”
“WASH…”
“IRON…”
“And COOK!”
There was a long silence.
Her mother finally sighed and said,
“Sarah… those aren’t horrible words.”
The bride sobbed,
“Maybe not to you, Mom…”
“…but apparently they were missing from his vocabulary until the honeymoon was over!”
