My wife found my secret savings after 38 years of marriage

My wife of 38 years, Mrs. Folake Babatunde, she don find my secret savings. After 38 years of marriage, she finally discover the small box I keep inside my office wardrobe. The box where I put money for my emergency, my personal small small things, you know how we men dey do.

She see it on Saturday when I was in the garden. She come call me with that voice, that voice wey no be smile. She say "Kunle, what is this?" I look at the box, I look at her face, and I know say my 38 years of careful planning don scatter. The Yoruba say what a man hides in his pocket, his wife will find in his wardrobe. I try to explain say na for our old age I dey save, but she just laugh and carry the box go her own side of the room.

Now she don use the money buy new pots for the kitchen and new curtains. I just dey look my empty box and remember how I used to think I was smart. Ishe o, a man's secret is never truly secret when his wife has eyes like an eagle.
