A husband and wife are getting ready for a dinner party at a friend’s house. The wife spends a long time getting dressed, trying on several outfits.
“Honey,” she calls from the bedroom, “which dress looks better? The red one or the blue one?”
The husband, who’s already waiting in the living room, barely glances up from his phone. “They both look great, dear.”
The wife walks out, looking annoyed. “You didn’t even look! I need your honest opinion.”
The husband sighs. “Alright, alright. The red one makes you look… vibrant. The blue one makes you look… sophisticated.”
The wife smiles. “That’s better! Now, what about my hair? Should I wear it up or down?”
The husband thinks for a moment. “Up makes you look elegant. Down makes you look casual.”
The wife nods. “Okay, last question. Does this necklace go with this outfit?”
The husband shrugs. “It looks fine.”
The wife crosses her arms. “Fine? Just ‘fine’? You’re not being helpful!”
The husband throws his hands up in exasperation. “Look, dear, you’re a beautiful woman. Whatever you wear, you’ll look amazing. Can we just go? We’re going to be late!”
The wife takes a deep breath, then looks at him with a mischievous glint in her eye. “You know what? You’re right. Let’s go. But just so you know, you’re wearing mismatched socks.”
The husband immediately looks down at his feet, his jaw dropping as he sees one black sock and one blue sock.
The wife smiles triumphantly. “See? Now you know how it feels when someone points out the little things you might have missed!”
