A married man, Jack wakes up with a huge hangover after a night out drinking with the boys.
He doesn't even remember how he got home from the party.
"Oh, damn," he thinks to himself, wondering if he did something wrong the night before.
Jack had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the nightstand.
Jack sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all clean and pressed.
He takes the aspirins, and then cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror.
Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick:
"Dear husband, last night you came home drunk and made a huge racket. But don't worry! Breakfast is on the stove. I left early to get groceries to make your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling!
Love, Jillian"
He stumbles into the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper all waiting for him. His son is also at the table, eating.
Jack asks, "Son... what happened last night?"
