This was passed along by a friend at work and I found it a lesson in cooperative planning. I don't swear to the veracity of the tale. Simply that it could have happened.
Seems a young woman was getting married and after days of shopping, her mother finally found the most absolutely lovely dress to wear to the wedding. It fit her well and she looked wonderful in it. She showed her daughter the dress and both agreed it was perfect for the Mother of the Bride to wear.
When the bride-to-be mentioned the dress to her future mother in law, she was stunned to learn that her fiance's mother had bought the exact same outfit to wear. When she was very sweetly asked if she wouldn't find another dress the groom's mother said, "No, I won't do it. The dress looks great on and I look gorgeous in it."
Upset, the young woman went to her mother and told her that the groom's mother was planning to wear a duplicate of the special dress. Her mother reassured her, "Don't worry dear, we won't let anything spoil your wedding - I'll find another dress to wear!"
The two women hugged and the daughter told her mother she'd go with her to return the dress and help her shop for another. "Don't be silly dear", her mother laughed, "I'm not going to return that dress."
"You're not? But, what will you do with it?"
The mother replied, "I'm going to wear it to the Rehearsal Dinner!"

I told this one to J. It took him a second and then he laughed out loud. Women get it instantly, without thinking about it, don't we? Clever.
If all 3 women went shopping together, they wouldn't have had this situation. Yes, this is a very cute story.
