An elderly couple, Bert and Edna, are sitting on the porch swing

On a quiet Sunday, Bert and Edna, married 55 years, sit on their porch sipping lukewarm tea, watching squirrels fight over a Cheeto. Edna suggests they finally tackle their bucket lists. Bert jokes his only goal is remembering where he left his pants. But when Edna presses, he reveals he’s always wanted to skydive. Edna, concerned for her faint-prone husband, is shocked—but agrees to pursue her own long-held wish.

Then, with a mischievous glint, Edna confesses: she sabotaged his recliner with a spatula in 1989 after he ruined her curtains. And that haunted remote? She rigged it with a penny to force years of Hallmark movies. Bert gasps, then confesses too—his decade of “fishing trips” were actually secret bowling nights. The trophy Edna once tossed? A decoy. They both burst into laughter.

They go on to complete their bucket lists: Bert skydives, Edna gets a new recliner, and they bowl together every Saturday.

Years later, the couple dies in a car crash and reaches heaven, greeted by luxury and endless free pleasures. But Bert erupts—blaming Edna. “If it weren’t for your healthy food, we’d have been here ten years ago!”

Lesson: Life’s best moments come from love, laughter, and a little mischief.
