A man was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side.

His eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're beautiful." Then he fell asleep again.

His wife had never heard him say that, so she stayed by his side. After a short nap, his eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're cute!"

The wife was disappointed. She asked her husband's doctor, "When my husband first woke up, he called me beautiful, but just a minute ago, he woke up again and called me cute. What happened to 'beautiful'?"

The doctor replied, "The drugs are wearing off."
