<\/p>\n
A married couple was asleep when the wife suddenly nudged her husband at 2 a.m.<\/p>\n
\u201cWake up!\u201d<\/p>\n
The husband groaned.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think there’s a burglar downstairs.\u201d<\/p>\n
The husband rolled over.<\/p>\n
\u201cCall the police.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then he closed his eyes again.<\/p>\n
A few minutes later, the wife shook him harder.<\/p>\n
\u201cHoney!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard footsteps!\u201d<\/p>\n
With a dramatic sigh, the husband climbed out of bed.<\/p>\n
He pulled on his boxers.<\/p>\n
Grabbed a baseball bat.<\/p>\n
And marched downstairs.<\/p>\n
He checked the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Nothing.<\/p>\n
The living room.<\/p>\n
Nothing.<\/p>\n
The dining room.<\/p>\n
Nothing.<\/p>\n
Finally he returned upstairs.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody’s there.\u201d<\/p>\n
The wife looked disappointed.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sure?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The husband climbed back into bed.<\/p>\n
Five minutes later, the wife shook him again.<\/p>\n
\u201cHoney!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I KNOW someone is downstairs!\u201d<\/p>\n
The husband sat up.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat makes you so sure?\u201d<\/p>\n
The wife pointed toward the hallway.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause I heard the refrigerator door open.\u201d<\/p>\n
The husband rolled his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cNobody breaks into a house for a midnight snack.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then he went back downstairs.<\/p>\n
Again.<\/p>\n
He searched every room.<\/p>\n
Every closet.<\/p>\n
Even behind the curtains.<\/p>\n
Nothing.<\/p>\n
Frustrated, he returned to bed.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere’s nobody here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The wife finally settled down.<\/p>\n
Morning came.<\/p>\n
The husband woke first.<\/p>\n
Still annoyed.<\/p>\n
He headed to the kitchen for coffee.<\/p>\n
Then stopped dead in his tracks.<\/p>\n
A strange man was sitting at the table.<\/p>\n
Calmly eating eggs and toast.<\/p>\n
Using the family’s dishes.<\/p>\n
Reading the newspaper.<\/p>\n
The husband nearly dropped his coffee mug.<\/p>\n
\u201cWHO ARE YOU?!\u201d<\/p>\n
The stranger looked up.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, good morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
The husband grabbed the baseball bat.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing in my house?\u201d<\/p>\n
The man shrugged.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n
The wife rushed into the kitchen.<\/p>\n
One look at the stranger and she shouted:<\/p>\n
\u201cSEE?!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI TOLD YOU!\u201d<\/p>\n
The husband stared.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou’re a burglar?\u201d<\/p>\n
The stranger nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cTechnically, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen why are you eating breakfast?\u201d<\/p>\n
The burglar smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, after watching you search the house twice…\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd after realizing how safe I was…\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI got hungry.\u201d<\/p>\n
The husband was speechless.<\/p>\n
Finally he asked:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere were you hiding?\u201d<\/p>\n
The burglar laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn your basement.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don’t have a basement.\u201d<\/p>\n
The burglar grinned.<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then he added:<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way, your wife is right far more often than you think.\u201d<\/p>\n
The wife folded her arms proudly.<\/p>\n
The husband sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course she is.\u201d<\/p>\n
And according to the wife, that was the real lesson of the story. \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
