“My wife: You need to do more chores around the house. Me: Can we change the subject?” (joke)

A joke about a wife getting a husband to do chores was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on December 1, 2020, and again on Reddit—Jokes on January 19, 2021:

My wife: You need to do more chores around the house.
Me: Can we change the subject?
Her: Ok. More chores around the house need to be done by you.

The husband wanted to “change the subject” (talk about something else), but the wife changed the subject of the sentence.
