A husband and wife are having an elegant dinner to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. The 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 sixth child never quite looked like the rest of our children.
"Now I want to assure you that these 50 years have been the most wonderful experience I could have ever hoped for, and your answer cannot take 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 pauses for a moment and then confesses. "Yes. Yes, he did."
The man is very shaken, the reality of what his wife is admitting hits him harder than he had expected it to. 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 tries to muster the courage to tell the truth to her husband. Then, finally, she says, "You."
