It’s a familiar scene in many marriages: one partner feels taken for granted and decides they’ve had enough. This story takes that scenario and adds a hilarious, unexpected punchline. A wife, fed up with her husband’s late return home, decided to play a trick on him. She wrote a dramatic note declaring, “I’ve left you for good. Don’t bother looking for me.” But instead of actually leaving, she tucked herself under the bed, eager to witness his panic and regret.
The husband came home and soon found the letter in the bedroom. The wife watched as he read it, then added a quick note of his own. He immediately got on the phone, and what she heard next crushed her. He told someone, “It’s perfect, she’s gone! I’m coming right over. Wear that special nightgown I love. I can’t wait to spend the evening with you.” With that, he left in a rush, and the wife heard his car disappear down the street.
Devastated and furious, she climbed out from under the bed. She snatched the note to see what her husband had written before his shocking phone call. The words on the page, however, changed everything in an instant. His addition was simple and clever: “I can see your feet. We need bread. I’ll be back in five minutes.”
