Christmas Surprise
An elderly man in Phoenix called his son in New York and said, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; 45 years of misery is enough."
"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screamed.
"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," his father said. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her." With that, he hung up.
Frantic, the son called his sister, who exploded on the phone. "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouted. "I'll take care of this."
She called Phoenix immediately, and screamed at her father: "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 hung up.
The old man hung up the phone and turned to his wife. "Okay," he said, "They're coming for Christmas and paying their own airfares."

This did make me smile, nice to have that instead of the continuous worry I have for my husband, who has altizheimer, but my trouble is I remember him as he was, when we married 61 years ago, I was a teenager, ooh to have him back, we used to dance ballroom style, now we cant hold a conversation, and he is in a wheel chair. God bless him xx

I LOVE THIS LOL:)!!
I enjoyed being reminded of the importance of touch, for my father-in-law. The smile of the week is so awesome! Some days we just need more humor in our lives.
I think the parents are pretty smart. It's a shame they had to resort to this to get the children there. Life goes by too fast. Enjoy your family. P
I've heard this before, but it still makes me chuckle. Thanks for the laugh.
This is hilarious. Thanks I needed a good laugh. That's one way to get the adult children's attention LOL LOL
