Hearing Test
by BethShelby
Charles was sure his wife was losing her hearing, and he intended to prove it by seeing how close he needed to be for her to hear him. At 20 ft., he asked, “What’s for lunch?”
He got no answer so he tried at 15, and then 10 ft., with the same results.
At 5 ft., she responded impatiently, “Charles, you need to see an audiologist. I’ve answered you four times. We’re having chicken cacciatore.”
