The truth behind the wife’s words

It started like any ordinary evening. A husband sat across the dinner table from his wife, trying to make casual conversation about the latest neighborhood gossip. He stirred his coffee, then looked up with a raised brow and said:

“So… the guys at the club were talking today. Apparently, the mailman has slept with every single woman on our street…”

He paused for dramatic effect.

“…Except one.”

He smirked, expecting his wife to roll her eyes or laugh it off. But she didn’t.

Instead, she kept her gaze steady, lifted her wine glass slowly, and with the most natural tone in the world, replied:

“Well, it must be that stuck-up Linda at number 14.”

The silence that followed was deafening.

Suddenly, it wasn’t just a harmless piece of gossip anymore. It was a moment of revelation — or maybe just a very well-played joke.

Whether the wife meant it as a sarcastic jab or an accidental confession… well, that’s up for interpretation.

One thing’s for sure:
In this neighborhood, even the mail carries secrets.
