A husband and wife were going through

A husband and wife were going through a rocky phase and were giving each other the silent treatment.

One day, at the height of hostilities,

He realized that he needed his wife to wake him at 5 a.m.

So that he could catch an early morning business flight.

Not wanting to be the first to break the silence, he wrote on a piece of paper:

“Please wake me at 5 a.m.”

The next morning, he awoke to discover that it was 9 a.m. and that he had missed his flight.

Furious, he was about to confront his wife when he noticed a piece of paper on his pillow.

The paper read: “It is 5 a.m. Wake up.”
