TED TALK WITH UNCLE TED · 25 December 2019

My wife sneaks to the kitchen to eat at midnight

William discovers that his picky-eater wife’s long midnight bathroom trips actually lead to cold ugali in the kitchen.

Dear Uncle Ted,

We’ve been married for six months. My wife is a picky eater who barely nibbles at her food. But about three weeks after we moved in together, I noticed that she would wake up at around midnight to go to the toilet.

What disturbed me is that her toilet trips were taking rather too long. Curious, I tiptoed to check up on her last week.

To my shock, she was sitting on the kitchen floor eating cold ugali like a nonsense. Should I report her to her mother?

William
