It was one of those lazy Saturday afternoon when the sun hung low in the sky and plunged the warm gold glow through the quiet neighborhood.
The smell of fresh grass passed through the open window, and from the nearby park the sound of distant shivers disintegrated. In the middle of peace, the conversation between her husband and his wife unexpectedly turned.
They knew a little, a seemingly innocent discussion would reveal more than just a neighbor’s gossip – it would throw the light on the curious nature of the people around them.
My husband said to his wife, “The guys in the club said our Mailman was on the street with the exception of one.” The wife replied, “I bet it is Paul.”
Finally, the playful exchange between her husband and his wife emphasizes humor, which can come from occasional interviews, even though she discusses something as trivial as neighborhood gossip. It is a reminder of how easily we can joke about the peculiarities of people around us, but also how little we really know about them. Whether it is true or not, the joke of the pair of light serves as a funny view of their relationship, where shared humor keeps things interesting.
