Humorous story about Grace and Calvin Coolidge

Shortly after Christmas, I made my usual calendar run to pick up any I didn’t get for Christmas (I’m a calendar junkie – I have one several in rooms around the house and the 8-5) and picked up a neat page-a-day one I had not previously seen in all my years of calendar shopping. It was called “[The] Secret Lives of US Presidents and First Ladies” and on each day, they have a little factoid not widely known about former presidents and their respective wives.

I just tore off today’s page, and read tomorrow’s – here’s what it reads:

In her later years, a reporter asked Grace Coolidge about the nature of her early romance with Calvin. In a rare moment of candor, she blurted, “Have you ever met my husband?” Calvin and Grace once visited a chicken farm in Maryland, where the first lady witnessed a rooster copulating with a hen. Upon asking the farmer if the rooster did that often, Grace was informed that he did it several times a day. “Tell that to the president,” she responded. “To the same hen?” was Calvin’s reply. “No, Mr. President,” said the red-faced farmer. “Tell that to Mrs. Coolidge,” said the president.

Whoops! :”>
