It was a calm, cozy evening. A newlywed couple lay in bed, still getting used to the sweet chaos of married life.
Out of nowhere, the husband turned to his wife and asked gently:
โHeyโฆ how many men have you slept with?โ
The question hung in the air.
Dangerous territory.
But he didnโt ask with jealousyโjust innocent curiosity.
His wife didnโt answer.
She just stared at the ceilingโฆ completely silent.
Trying to lighten the mood, he added:
โCome on, itโs okay. I wonโt judge. I just want to know you better.โ
She slowly turned her headโฆ took a deep breathโฆ still quiet.
Then he heard her whispering under her breath:
โโฆ1โฆ 2โฆ 3โฆโ
He frowned a little.
Then she continued:
โ4โฆ 5โฆ 6โฆโ
His smile disappeared.
Next came:
โ7โฆ 8โฆ 9โฆโ
Now he was sweating.
โ10โฆ 11โฆ 12โฆโ
He couldnโt take it anymore.
โHEY! Why are you counting out loud?!โ
She calmly shrugged:
โBecause if you interrupt me, Iโll lose count and have to start all over again.โ

Moral of the story:
Donโt ask questions if youโre not ready for the answers.
