<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My entitled husband bought first class for himself and his mother, leaving me in economy with the children. But I wasn\u2019t going to just sit there. I made sure his \u201cluxury\u201d experience had some turbulence, transforming his flight into a lesson he will never forget.<\/p>\n
Clark volunteered to book the flights, and I thought, \u201cGreat, one less thing for me to worry about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Oh, how naive I was.<\/p>\n
\u201cClark, honey, where are our seats?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n
Clark, my dear husband of eight years, was busy tapping away on his phone. \u201cOh, um, about that\u2026\u201d he mumbled, not even looking up.<\/p>\n
I felt a knot forming in my stomach. \u201cWhat do you mean, \u2018about that\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n
He finally pocketed his phone and gave me that sheepish grin I\u2019d come to dread.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWell, I managed to snag an upgrade for me and Mom to first class. You know how she gets on long flights, and I really need to catch up on some peaceful rest\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, let me get this straight,\u201d I snapped. \u201cYou and your mother are sitting in first class, while I\u2019m stuck in economy with both kids?\u201d<\/p>\n
Clark had the audacity to shrug. The nerve of this guy. Argh.<\/p>\n
\u201cAh, c\u2019mon. Stop being a drama queen! It\u2019s just a few hours, Soph. You\u2019ll be fine.\u201d<\/p>\n
As if on cue, his mother Nadia appeared, designer luggage in tow. \u201cOh, Clark! There you are. Are we ready for our luxurious flight?\u201d<\/p>\n
I watched as they sauntered off towards the first-class lounge, leaving me with two cranky kids and a growing desire for my plan.
\n\u201cOh, it\u2019ll be luxurious alright,\u201d I muttered, a delicious, petty plan brewing in my head. \u201cJust you wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clark and Nadia were already sipping champagne while I struggled to fit our carry-on into the overhead bin.<\/p>\n
\u201cMommy, I want to sit with Daddy!\u201d our five-year-old whined.<\/p>\n
I forced a smile. \u201cNot this time, sweetie. Daddy and Grandma are sitting in a special part of the plane.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy can\u2019t we sit there too?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause Daddy\u2019s a special kind of jerk.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat was that, Mommy?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing, honey. Let\u2019s get you buckled in.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nOkay, so back to where we left off. A wicked grin spread across my face as I watched Clark. This flight was about to get a lot more interesting.<\/p>\n
Two hours into the flight, my kids were asleep, and I was enjoying the peace and quiet. That\u2019s when I saw the flight attendant approaching the first-class cabin with a tray of gourmet meals. Yum!<\/p>\n
It was like watching a dog drool over a juicy steak while I was stuck with airline pretzels.<\/p>\n
I watched as Clark ordered the most expensive items on the menu, complete with top-shelf liquor, indulging in every luxury available.<\/p>\n
\u201cWould you like anything from the snack cart, ma\u2019am?\u201d another flight attendant asked me.<\/p>\n
I smiled. \u201cJust water, please. And maybe some popcorn. I have a feeling I\u2019m about to watch quite a show.\u201d<\/p>\n
As expected, about thirty minutes later, I saw Clark frantically searching his pockets. The color drained from his face as he realized his wallet was missing.<\/p>\n
I sat back, munching on my popcorn. The in-flight entertainment had nothing on this. Jeez, this was EPIC!<\/p>\n
Finally, the moment I\u2019d been waiting for arrived.<\/p>\n

\nClark, looking like a scolded schoolboy, made his way down the aisle to economy class. And to me!<\/p>\n
\u201cSoph,\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t find my wallet. Please tell me you have some cash.\u201d<\/p>\n
I put on my best-concerned face. \u201cOh no! That\u2019s terrible, honey. How much do you need?\u201d<\/p>\n
He winced. \u201cUh, about $1500?\u201d<\/p>\n
I nearly choked on my water. \u201cThousand five hundred bucks? What on earth did you order? The blue whale?!\u201d<\/p>\n
As he turned to leave, I called out sweetly, \u201cHey, doesn\u2019t your mom have her credit card? I\u2019m sure she\u2019d be happy to help!\u201d<\/p>\n
As we began our descent, Clark made one more trip back to economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cSoph, have you seen my wallet? I\u2019ve looked everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n
I put on my most innocent face. \u201cNo, honey. Are you sure you didn\u2019t leave it at home?\u201d<\/p>\n
He ran his hands through his hair, frustration evident. \u201cI could\u2019ve sworn I had it at the airport. This is a nightmare.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell,\u201d I said, patting his arm, \u201cat least you got to enjoy first class, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
The look he gave me could have curdled milk. \u201cYeah, real enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n
As he skulked back to his seat, I couldn\u2019t help but feel a twinge of satisfaction. Lesson learned!<\/p>\n
After the flight, Clark was looking as sour as a lemon. Nadia had wisely disappeared into the restroom, probably to avoid the look on his face. I couldn\u2019t blame her. It was one of those classic \u201cif looks could kill\u201d moments, and Clark\u2019s mood wasn\u2019t improving.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t believe I lost my wallet,\u201d Clark muttered, patting down his pockets for the tenth time.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAre you sure you didn\u2019t leave it in first class?\u201d I asked, doing my best to keep a straight face.<\/p>\n
He shot me a glare. \u201cI already checked. Twice.\u201d<\/p>\n
I bit my lip, holding back the grin threatening to break free. This was too good.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaybe it fell out during one of those fancy meals they served you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cVery funny, Soph. This isn\u2019t a joke. There\u2019s gotta be a way to track it down.\u201d
\nHe then let out a heavy sigh, his shoulders slumping. \u201cI just hope someone didn\u2019t pick it up and run off with it. All our cards are in there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, that would suck!\u201d<\/p>\n
As we walked out of the airport, I couldn\u2019t help but feel a little giddy. I\u2019d keep the wallet hidden for a while longer and treat myself to something nice with his card before handing it back. A little creative justice never hurt anyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
