Once there was a woman who got really mad because her husband was always coming home late. She decided she had enough and wanted to leave him a note.
So, she wrote, “I’ve had enough and have left you. Don’t bother coming after me.” Then she hid under the bed to see how he would react.
After a little while, she heard her husband come home. She could hear him moving around in the kitchen before he came into the bedroom. He walked over to the dresser and found the note she left.
He didn’t seem upset though. Instead, he wrote something on the note and made a phone call. She listened closely as he said, “She’s finally gone…yeah I know, about time, I’m coming to see you, put on that sexy French nightie. I love you…can’t wait to see you…we’ll do all the naughty things you like.”
Then he hung up, grabbed his keys, and left. She heard his car driving away, so she came out from under the bed, feeling angry and with tears in her eyes. She picked up the note to see what he wrote back.
To her surprise, it said, “I can see your feet. We’re outta bread: be back in five minutes.”
It turned out he didn’t even read the note properly. He thought she was just playing a game or something. She felt silly for hiding under the bed and realized they needed to communicate better.
It was a funny misunderstanding, but it taught them both a lesson about being clear with each other.
