In a house where silence had settled between a husband and wife, an unspoken rule prevailed: not to be the first to give in. But this time, an emergency was going to break the monotony.
The man, having a business flight to catch at 5 a.m., did not want to lose face by talking to his wife. So he opted for an ingenious solution: a little written note that he strategically placed for his wife to find. On the paper, he simply wrote:
“Please wake me up at 5 a.m.”
A response as silent as it was mischievous
The next morning, the man woke up with a start. His clock read 9:00: he had missed his flight! Angry, he rushed to ask his wife for an explanation. But before he could speak, he noticed a small piece of paper lying next to his bed. On it, he read:
“It’s 5:00 in the morning. Wake up.”
A lesson (and a laugh)
This funny story shows that in a relationship, silence can become a form of expression… sometimes very creative! However, it also highlights the importance of open communication.
So, gentlemen (and ladies), before entering into a war of silence, remember: Some battles are lost in advance, especially when faced with the humor and mischief of your other half!
