A big mistake

Once I came home late from work.

The first thing I saw was our dog.

She'd had a haircut and looked cute,
so I fussed and stroked her
and said 'How pretty you are! '
then walked past my wife
(who was cooking dinner)    
and sat in the lounge.

Later, my better half sat down beside me,
gave me a pointed look, and said
'I've had a haircut, too! '

I guess I'll never live that one down.

(Note:  Later still, she told me
I wouldn't notice her new hairstyle
even if she stuck a caulifower on her head...)
