*ok, one joke before I knock off for the night
In my house, I as the husband is the head of the house, what ever
decision I make, everyone obey and follows.
In reality, the only decisions husbands made for their wives since
the begining are, "OK loh, my darling"
example:
When Eve gave Adam the fruit of knowledge of Good and Evil, Adam
did not say no, or remind Eve of what God say, he probably only say
"OK loh, my darling" and he ate the fruit. 
*reminder: This is just a joke, there is no facts in this, pls
don't take this as facts, its all fiction....
ok Jokes aside... apply leave means check with her is she have any
other plans for that day.
