A lady to her husband: Avoid giving too many clothes for laundry.
Husband: What happened?
Wife: The maid won't be coming for work for a couple of days.
Husband: Why?
Wife: She's going to see her granddaughter over to her daughters place over the holidays.
Husband: Alright, I'll keep that in mind.
Wife: Before I forget, how about we offer her a festive bonus? Rs. 500?
Husband: But why? Diwali is around the corner, why don't we just give her the money then?
Wife: Oh, no... She's a poor lady, works as a domestic help. She's going to see her daughter. With her meagre income, how would she be able to enjoy a good holiday? Poor thing!
Husband: There you go! Getting overly sentimental again!
Wife: Don't worry about the money; let's cancel our plan for pizza for dinner tonight. No point wasting money over eight slices of stale bread.
Husband: Great! So now we have to give up on our pizza night so the maid can get a bonus?!
Three days later, when the maid is back at work, the lady's husband asked her.
Husband: So, how was your holiday?
