—– Newly married —–
“Where is it?”, the husband asks his mousy wife.
“What is “it” ?”
“Don’t you know what I’m asking?”
“No”
” A good wife should anticipate the husband’s needs …read his mind”
Wife is speechless.
—- 5 years experience later —-
“Where is it?”, the husband asks.
“Hallway closet”
“not there”
“Check the bedroom closet”
“not there”
“Check the bathroom closet”
“Found it”
—- 10 years of experience later —-
“Where is it?”
“Must be where you left it last”
“I don’t see it there”
“Look right in front of you”
“Found it”
—-
“Mom, how do you know what’s “it” ?” .
Mother smiles enigmatically, “It’s a secret”
