Marriage is a beautiful journey filled with love, laughter, and, of course, a few pranks along the way. Every couple has their inside jokes, playful banter, and moments that keep the relationship exciting. But sometimes, a joke can take an unexpected turn—especially when texting is involved.
One husband learned this lesson the hard way when he tried to pull a sneaky prank on his wife. It all started with a simple text, but what followed became a story they would laugh about for years to come.
The Setup: A Bold Request
After a long day at work, this husband decided to have a little fun. He sent his wife a straightforward request:
“Hey, I’ll be home late. Please wash all my dirty clothes and make sure to cook my favorite dish before I get back.”
A reasonable request? Maybe. A risky one? Definitely.
As expected, there was no immediate reply. His wife, who was probably busy with her own evening routine, didn’t feel the urgency to respond right away. But instead of waiting patiently, the husband decided to take things up a notch.
The Twist: A Surefire Way to Get a Response
Realizing that his polite request wasn’t enough to grab her attention, he quickly followed up with another message:
“By the way, I just won the lottery today! We’re rich!”
Sure enough, within seconds, his phone buzzed with a message from his wife:
“OMG! Are you serious?! That’s amazing! How much did you win?”
Feeling smug, he responded with a classic:
“Enough to afford my own washing machine and a personal chef… but I’d still rather have you do it. Love you!”
Silence.
The Payback: Wife’s Brilliant Comeback
For a few minutes, his wife didn’t respond, and he assumed she was rolling her eyes at his joke. But just as he was about to text again, he received a reply that made him break out in laughter—mixed with a little bit of fear.
“Oh, that’s great! Because I just spent all our ‘lottery winnings’ on a spa day, a designer handbag, and a trip to Paris. Thanks, babe!”
Now it was his turn to panic. He quickly texted back:
“Wait, what?! That was a joke! We didn’t actually win anything!”
His wife’s response was short but lethal:
“Oh, I know. But so was my plan to do your laundry and cook tonight. Have fun with your dirty clothes, Mr. Millionaire!”
Lesson Learned: Think Before You Text
At that moment, the husband realized that he had met his match. His little prank had backfired in the most hilarious way, and he had no choice but to accept defeat. That night, he found himself heating up leftovers and tossing his dirty clothes in the washer—all while his wife relaxed on the couch, scrolling through her phone with a victorious smirk.
He learned an important lesson that day: If you’re going to play a prank on your wife, be prepared for an even bigger one in return.
Final Thought: The Magic of Humor in Relationships
In the end, the prank didn’t lead to any real trouble—just some good-natured teasing and a lot of laughter. It’s these moments that make a relationship fun and memorable. While not every joke goes according to plan, the best ones turn into stories that couples retell for years.
And for this husband? Let’s just say that next time, he might think twice before trying to pull a fast one on his wife. Or at the very least, he’ll make sure the laundry is already done before he starts texting.
