Anniversary (aka Anniversary Presents)

It's time for my favorite husband starring Lucille Ball. Yes, it's the new gay family series, starring Lucille Ball with Richard Dunning as Liz and George Cooper. Two people who live together and like it. We look in on the Cooper household, it's a bright, sun-shiny morning outside the birds are singing.

And inside, Liz Cooper is singing too. Here comes the bite, here comes the bite. Now, you may think this is an odd song to sing in the morning, but this isn't just any morning. It's the Cooper's tenth wedding anniversary.

And just thinking of being married to George for ten whole years makes Liz feel like singing. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Oh, good morning, Katie. Good morning, Mrs. Cooper. What are you so happy about? Don't you know what day this is, Katie?

Yes, it's Friday. No, it's something much more special than that. Oh, of course. This is the day they collect the garbage. Katie, today is my wedding anniversary. George has been my favorite husband for ten years.

Oh, Mrs. Cooper, it hasn't been ten years. Well, not exactly. It's really been nine years, eleven months, twenty-nine days, twenty-two hours and forty-five minutes. I knew it wasn't ten years. Just think, Katie, ten years ago I was an eager young bride of twenty-one, and today I'm an old married woman of twenty-five.

I'm flies. I wonder what George will give me. What is the tenth anniversary, Katie? The fiftieth is gold and the twenty-fifth is silver. Is the tenth diamond or China? It's tin. Tin? T-I-N? That's right. I can see A-M.

Oh, George probably doesn't know anything about it being tinned, so let's not tell him. What he doesn't know won't hurt me. Oh, oh, oh, you'll be lucky if Mr. Cooper remembers it's your anniversary. Why, Katie, of course you'll remember.
