One evening, as the clock struck midnight, John returned home to find an eerie silence engulfing the house. Perplexed, he tiptoed through the hallway and cautiously pushed open the bedroom door. To his surprise, he noticed an unusual commotion beneath the covers – four legs moving frantically.
Determined not to startle anyone, John reached for a flashlight and discovered his wife, armed with a tennis racket, fiercely battling an unseen foe beneath the blanket.
Baffled and concerned, John couldn’t contain his curiosity. “What on earth are you doing?” he exclaimed.
His wife, still in combat mode, looked up with a mix of determination and panic. “There are intruders in our bed! I’m defending us!”
As realization dawned on him, John couldn’t help but chuckle. “Sweetheart,” he said, “I forgot to mention – my parents decided to drop by for a surprise visit. I put them in our room.”
Caught between relief and embarrassment, the wife sheepishly put down the racket and sighed, “Well, a little heads-up would have been nice. I thought we were under attack!”
