I enjoyed the story, you did a good job with the prompt words given. That being said, the brief description rather gave away what was going to happen. I anticipated that he would dance and get caught red-handed (red-footed? ) at it by his wife and kid.
The story does work well as is, but you could also look at giving it some sort of twist so that there is a surprise element for the reader. I think a combination of anticipation-and-surprise would make it funnier.
Some tiny typos:
laid there -- do you mean 'lay there'?
slippers laying -- do you mean 'lying'?
feet. he -- capital 'H'.
Also - when you say 'back burner', doesn't it imply the stove?
And I am partial to a bigger font size and more line-spacing for smoother readibility, so I'll suggest that, too!
