A very elderly couple is having an elegant dinner to celebrate their
75th wedding anniversary. The old man leans forward and says softly to
his wife, "Dear, there is something that I must ask you. It has always
bothered me that our tenth child never quite looked like the rest of
our children. Now I want to assure you that these 75 years have been
the most wonderful experience I could have ever hoped for, and your
answer cannot take that all that away. But, I must know, did he have a
different father?"

The wife drops her head, unable to look her husband in the eye, she
paused for a moment and then confessed. "Yes. Yes he did."

The old man is very shaken, the reality of what his wife was admitting
hit him harder than he had expected. With a tear in his eye he asks
"Who? Who was he? Who was the father?"

Again the old woman drops her head, saying nothing at first as she
tried to muster the courage to tell the truth to her husband.

Then, finally, she says, "You."
