A wife was sitting at home, needing some groceries, and decided to send a quick text message to her husband as he finished up his workday.
The message read: “Don’t forget to buy vegetables on your way back from the office, and oh, Priscilla says hi to you.”
Within thirty seconds, the husband typed back: “Who on earth is Priscilla?”
The wife smirked and replied: “Nobody. I just wanted to make sure you actually read my text this time.”
However, the husband was a chess player, not a checkers player. He immediately fired back: “But I’m actually standing with a Priscilla right now, so I was just confused which Priscilla you were talking about.”
The wife’s heart dropped. Her fingers flew across the screen: “Where exactly are you right now???”
Husband: “Right near the local vegetable market.”
Wife: “Don’t move. I am getting in the car and coming down there right now!”
Ten minutes later, having aggressively navigated traffic and stormed into the crowded marketplace, the panicked wife looked around, saw no sign of her husband, and frantically texted him: “I’m here. Where are you?”
His final reply popped up instantly:
“I’m still sitting at my desk at the office. But now that you are already at the market, go ahead and buy whatever vegetables you need!”
