Breakfast In Bed
Level 2 · Medium
One night Hugh was at work at the Madadia Kebab recycling plant when he received an unexpected telephone call from a neighbour, listened to what the neighbour said, slammed down the phone and left work and drove straight home. On entering his house Hugh crept upstairs and found his wife in bed with a stranger. He wasn't angry but he was surprised. In fact he crept back down stairs and made his wife some breakfast, which he took up for her to eat in bed. Why was Hugh so calm about finding his wife in bed with someone he had never met before?
One player reads the premise and knows the answer. Everyone else asks yes/no questions until they reconstruct what happened.
Hold, or double tap.
The answer
The stranger was a baby; Hugh's wife had gone into labour while he was at work. The neighbour had called to let him know.
