Husband: That’s not a bad idea. But do you think the rest of your salary will be enough to cover our daily expenses?
Wife: I got a raise. Have you forgotten it? It should be OK.
Husband: Alright, dear. It’s up to you. I get a headache when it comes to figures.
Wife: That’s why you need a wife like me
