The husband finally plucks up enough courage to tell his wife and so he walks into the bedroom. He walks over to the bed, climbs over to his wife, puts his arm around her neck, moves his face very close to hers and says, «Darling, I\'ve a confession to make.»
And she says, «So have I, love.»
He cries out, «Don\'t tell me you\'ve eaten my socks!»
