I Overheard My Husband Telling Our 4-Year-Old to Keep a Secret

Paige, a dedicated career woman, came home from a business trip to overhear her husband, Victor, and their four-year-old son, Mason, discussing a secret. Victor told Mason not to share what he’d seen with Paige, as it would “make her sad.” This unnerved Paige, but she brushed it off, assuming it was something minor.

After more business travel, Paige noticed a small but strange detail in a photo Victor sent — a pair of unfamiliar, high-end shoes in their living room. She shrugged it off at first, but doubt crept in. When she returned home, she caught Victor in bed with another woman, and Mason’s earlier words, “Mommy, don’t go in there; you’ll be sad,” now made devastating sense.

Victor tried to blame Paige’s busy career for his infidelity, arguing he needed “human contact.” Heartbroken and realizing the weight her son had carried in keeping this secret, Paige confronted her marriage’s painful reality. Supported by her family, she asked Victor to leave, choosing to divorce and rebuild her life for her and Mason.

Through it all, Paige resolved to prioritize her own and her son’s well-being, even amid the pain of betrayal.

How many are there?

The riddle asks, “How many of us are there?” based on the statement:

“I have 4 brothers, and each brother has 4 brothers.”

Let’s break it down:

  • You have 4 brothers, which means there are 5 brothers in total (including yourself).
  • Each of your 4 brothers also has 4 brothers, which refers to the same 5 brothers (including you).

So, the total number of “us” is 5 brothers.
