Story 1: The Confirmation Receipt
Modern problems require modern solutions. A husband found himself working late at the office and decided to test the waters of domestic cooperation. He sent a text to his wife:
Hey honey, I’m going to be stuck here for a few more hours. Since I’ll be exhausted when I get back, could you please make sure all my laundry is washed and dried? Also, I’m starving—could you whip up that five-course roast dinner I love? Thanks!”
Ten minutes passed. Then twenty. The “Read” receipt was there, but the silence was deafening.
Knowing his audience, he quickly sent a follow-up: “Oh, I almost forgot the best part! I just got a massive promotion and a $20,000 bonus. To celebrate, I’m heading to the dealership tomorrow to buy you that luxury SUV you’ve been eyeing!”
Two seconds later, his phone vibrated so hard it nearly fell off the desk. “OMG!! ARE YOU SERIOUS? I’M SO HAPPY! I LOVE YOU!”
The husband smiled and typed back: “No, not really. I just wanted to make sure you were getting my texts.”
Story 2: The Vegas Venture
After ten years of marriage, Harold walked into the bedroom to find his wife, Martha, frantically throwing her finest outfits into a suitcase.
“What’s going on?” Harold asked, bewildered. “Are we going on a surprise vacation?”
“You aren’t going anywhere,” Martha declared. “I’m moving to Las Vegas! I just found out that there are men there who will pay me $500 a night to do what I’ve been doing for you for free for a decade!”
Harold stood there in stunned silence for a moment. Then, without a word, he opened the closet, pulled out his own suitcase, and began throwing in his Hawaiian shirts and socks.
What do you think you’re doing?” Martha shrieked.
Harold zipped his bag and looked at her calmly. “I’m coming with you. I want to see how you expect to survive in a city like Las Vegas on $1,000 a year.”
Story 3: The Devoted Good Luck Charm
For months, a wife sat faithfully by her husband’s hospital bed. She was there through every surgery, every setback, and every flickering moment of consciousness. She was a vision of saintly devotion, praying for a miracle.
One afternoon, his eyes finally fluttered open. He looked at her, his gaze misty with emotion, and beckoned her to lean in close.
My dear,” he whispered, his voice cracking. “You have been my rock through every single trial and tribulation.”
The wife’s eyes filled with tears of joy. “Oh, darling, I’m just glad you’re awake.”
“No, listen to me,” he panted. “I’ve been thinking about our life. When I got fired from that high-paying job, you were right there beside me. When my business went bankrupt and we lost every penny, you were there. When the house burned down and we had to live in that tiny trailer, you stayed right by my side. When I got shot in that freak hunting accident… you were the one who held my hand.”
He took a shaky breath. “And now, when my health has completely failed and I’m laying here in this bed… you’re still right here.”
The wife smiled tenderly, her heart overflowing with love. “Of course I am, sweetheart. What are you trying to say?”
He looked her dead in the eye and muttered, “I’m starting to think you’re bad luck.”
