My husband, Clark, has always been the \u201ctoo busy for feelings\u201d type \u2014 glued to his phone, convinced his job keeps the world spinning. I love him, but sometimes he forgets that being a mom isn\u2019t a day off either. So when he offered to book our holiday flights, I thought,\u00a0finally, he\u2019s helping.<\/em>\u00a0Spoiler: I was wrong.<\/p>\n

At the airport, I was juggling two kids, three bags, and a growing headache when I asked, \u201cHoney, where are our seats?\u201d Without looking up, he mumbled, \u201cOh\u2026 about that.\u201d Turns out, Clark had upgraded himself \u2014 and his mother \u2014 to first class, leaving me in economy with the kids. \u201cIt\u2019s just a few hours, Soph. You\u2019ll be fine,\u201d he said with that smirk that could curdle milk. His mother beamed beside him, thrilled to be sipping champagne while I prepared for battle in coach.<\/p>\n

But karma works fast when you\u2019re clever. During security, I quietly slipped his wallet into my bag. Hours later, as he enjoyed lobster and luxury, I watched from economy, munching on pretzels. Then came the fun part \u2014 Clark realized he couldn\u2019t pay for his extravagant meal. I watched the color drain from his face as he fumbled for his missing wallet. Eventually, he shuffled back to my seat, whispering, \u201cSoph, please tell me you have cash.\u201d I smiled sweetly and said, \u201cSorry, honey. Maybe your mom can cover it \u2014 she\u2019s first class, remember?\u201d<\/p>\n

The rest of the flight was blissfully awkward. Clark sat in silence, humiliated, while I stretched out with a quiet grin. When we landed, he patted every pocket, muttering about \u201cthieves,\u201d while I zipped my purse closed. Sometimes revenge doesn\u2019t need yelling or drama \u2014 just a little creativity. Because marriage, like flying, only works when everyone\u2019s on the same level \u2014 not when one of you\u2019s sipping champagne up front.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
