Late one evening, a husband sent a text to his wife:
“Hi, I’ll be late. Please try and wash all my dirty clothes and make sure you prepare my favorite dish before I return.”
He waited.
No reply.
Maybe she was busy. Maybe she didn’t see it.
A few minutes later, he decided to send a follow-up message:
“And I forgot to tell you—I got a raise! End of the month, I’m getting you a new car.”
