There was a city in France during the Middle Ages where women had a strange habit. Every morning, married women would put a tiny bit of poison in the breakfast they made for their husbands. Then, when the men came home in the evening, they were given the antidote to cancel out the poison. This way, the poison wouldn’t really hurt them.
There was a strict reason for this. If the husbands stayed away too long and didn’t get the antidote on time, they would start feeling sick with symptoms like nausea, headaches, depression, vomiting, pain, or trouble breathing. The longer they stayed away, the worse they felt. But as soon as they got home and the wife gave them the antidote, they quickly got better.
This trick made the men think that being away from home caused pain and sadness. Because of this, the husbands took their family duties more seriously.
What do you think about this? 😂
