One morning, while they were still lying in bed, the wife turned to her husband and said, “Maybe you shouldn’t go to work today.”

Her husband looked at her, confused. “What do you mean? Why shouldn’t I go to work?”

She sighed and said, “I think you’ve been working too hard lately. Maybe you need a break.”

“A break?” he asked.

“Yes,” she continued. “Instead of going to the office, maybe you should take a few days off. Pack a suitcase, go stay with a friend, clear your head, and relax for a while.”

The husband couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His wife was actually encouraging him to take time off and leave the house for a few days.

He didn’t want to give her a chance to change her mind.

Within minutes, he was out of bed, getting dressed, and pulling clothes from the closet.

As he packed his bag, he tried to sound casual.

“Just out of curiosity,” he said, “what made you think I’ve been working so hard that I need a break?”

His wife folded her arms and replied, “Because you were dreaming about work all night.”

The husband paused. “Really? How do you know I was dreaming about work?”

She looked at him calmly and said:

“Because every 2 minutes you were telling your secretary to go faster.”
