My very funny friend Em, just sent me this hilarious story ~~ and I laughed out loud because this is in fact, probably how my parents will get me to visit TEXAS for the holidays. Their 36th wedding anniversary is this Thanksgiving, a fact of which I have been reminded already....and thus, my plans for flying out to see them must get underway...I wonder how much furniture I will have to sell to pay my own airfare from California to Texas? ~~~ :)
An elderly man in Miami calls his son in California and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing. Forty-five years of misery is enough."
"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams."We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her," and he hangs up.
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone, "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this."
She calls her father immediately and screams at the old man, "You are NOT getting divorced! Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says, "They're coming for the holidays and paying their own airfares."
Give me a ring when you visit the fam next month.
