It was the last straw. Her husband was late again, and this time, she was going to make him pay attention. In a fit of playful frustration, she wrote a fake breakup note announcing she was leaving him. For the full effect, she decided to hide under the bed to watch his panicked response when he found it. She was sure her little stunt would make him realize how his lateness was affecting her.
Her husband came home and, as expected, found the note on the dresser. But his reaction was nothing like she had predicted. Instead of panic, there was calm. He even wrote something on the note himself. Then, he made a phone call that made her blood run cold. He told someone he was thrilled she was gone and that he was on his way over for a romantic rendezvous. Heartbroken, she listened as he left the house.
As soon as she heard the car pull away, she emerged from her hiding spot, ready to confront the evidence of his betrayal. She grabbed the note and read his added message. Instantly, her tears of anger turned into tears of laughter. He had seen her the whole time and written, “I can see your feet. We’re outta bread: be back in five minutes.” Her attempt to teach him a lesson had turned into a hilarious reminder of why she married such a quick-witted man in the first place.
