A Small Laugh
Uh-oh. This husband thought he was being clever by bringing his wife exactly what she asked for. This “small bowl of cereal” is indeed tiny. But Mr. Literal here probably won’t be as amused with himself once his wife weighs in on his little joke. Do you think she’ll find it as funny as he does?
Let’s hope, for both their sakes, that he didn’t just leave it at that, and he had a larger bowl waiting in the wings for her. After all, doesn’t he realize that a pregnant woman’s definition of “small” is drastically different than other people’s? Small portions are not a thing with pregnant women.
