Shopping Spree

A woman returned home from a holiday shopping spree with her arms loaded with packages. Her husband met her at the door and said, “What did you buy? With prices as high as they are, I’ll bet you spent a fortune. I hate to think what has happened to our nest egg.”

“I’ll tell you what happened to our nest egg,” his wife said defensively as she began to put her packages on the dining room table. “The old hen got tired of sitting on it.”
