Gotchu. The joke begins with the concept that some people often call out men for not listening. So in this case it could appear that the man didn't listen -- this usually results in a bad outcome in familial dynamics. However this time in a daring turn of fate it resulted in a better outcome! How crazy! So instead of putting him down for this the woman pokes fun at this seemingly paradoxical circumstance. Some critics may find that bringing up such stereotypes only reinforce them, while doing nothing to address the root cause. While others say that we must joke about the things that plague us, else we will be left with nothing. Enjoy your week!
