Once upon a time, there was a husband and wife who had been married for many years. They had reached a point in their lives where they needed to address certain needs that come with age. One morning, the wife found a note from her husband on the fridge.
The note began with a gentle explanation. The husband expressed his happiness with his dear wife and reassured her that he valued her as a good wife. However, he also mentioned that there were certain desires he had that she, being 57 years old, could no longer satisfy. He disclosed that he would be spending the evening with his 19-year-old secretary at the Comfort Inn hotel, and he hoped she wouldn’t be upset.
In response, the wife decided to take a lighthearted approach to the situation. Later that night, when the husband came home, he found a note waiting for him on the dining table. The wife, in her cleverness, thanked him for his honesty about her age. But she wanted to remind him of something important: he was also 57 years old.
The wife, who happened to be a math teacher at a local college, seized the opportunity to enlighten her husband. She humorously informed him that, while he was reading her note, she would be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael, one of her students and the assistant tennis coach. Michael was a young and virile 19-year-old, just like his secretary.
Using her mathematical skills, the wife playfully pointed out that they were in the same situation, with one small difference. She explained that 19 goes into 57 more times than 57 goes into 19. With a touch of wit, she concluded that she would not be home until sometime the following day.
This amusing exchange between the husband and wife showcases the brilliance and quick thinking of the wife. It serves as a reminder that age is just a number and that a little humor can go a long way in resolving any situation.
