Life Before The Pandemic

Winners and Losers

A husband and wife were having ‘problems’ at home and had been giving each other that good old silent treatment since early Saturday.

But late Sunday the man remembered that the next day he needed to get up early for a business trip and realized he would need his wife’s help to make sure to be up at 5:00 AM.

Not wanting to be the first to break the silence and ‘lose the battle’, the husband before turning in for the night wrote on a piece of paper: Please wake me at 5:00 AM.

He left the note where he knew she would find it.

So, Monday morning the husband woke up only to discover it was 9:15 AM and he had missed his flight.

Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn’t wakened him when he noticed a piece of paper on his nightstand.

The note read: It’s 5:00 AM. Wake Up!
