My wife is fond of using her phone till the battery runs low and then I’m always the one charging it for her.

Every night before we go to bed, as I’m plugging mine, I’ll plug hers too. It now became my responsibility to charge her phone battery for her every night.

I got tired of reminding her as she’ll always tell me to charge it for her, I decided to teach her a lesson

One night I plugged mine and left her own unplugged and the next morning when they seized power her battery was flat. She was now upset at me, asking me why I didn’t charge her phone when I charged mine.

I asked her if I’m her designated charger or PA or if she’s paying me to charge her phone for her. If you don’t remember to charge your phone then leave it. When the battery goes flat you will remember.

She smiled at me and didn’t say anything. That will teach her, I smiled to myself.

The following day, after preparing for work, I couldn’t find my belongings, my pair of stockings, belt, wallet, and even my car keys, and when I went to ask her, she asked me if she’s my PA, or my designated house help and if I can’t remember where I kept them, I should stay at home.

I went to work very late that day and had to wear something else, thankfully I later found my car keys under the couch where I threw them the previous day

That night, as I charged my phone, I did the same for hers too. The next morning, after I dressed up and was ready to go to work, my things were all organized and arranged. My stockings and belt were on the couch, and my wallet and car keys were on the table in the sitting room.

I learned a valuable lesson that day. Team work makes the dream work.
