He Wanted "Silent Saturdays," So Mom Gave Him Forever

After Dad got promoted, he laid down a strict new rule for our house.

Every Friday from 9:00 PM to Saturday morning at 7:00 AM was his official "Silent Time."

No calls, no texts, and absolutely no trivial domestic drama could disturb him.

He claimed this was prescribed by the corporate wellness coach his firm had just hired.

"A mature wife," Dad told Mom, "knows how to give her husband room to breathe."

Mom looked at him and asked, "What if the kid gets a fever in the middle of the night?"

Dad didn't even look up from his iPad.
