Thanksgiving Mr. Hunter calls his son in Boston. The old man says, “Son, I hate to bring you the bad news…… but your mother and I, we are getting a divorce.” The son is surprised, “What?? You can’t!” Mr. Hunter says, “I’m sorry, son! Forty-five years of misery is enough! Now, I am sick of talking about it, call your sister and tell her!” And he hangs up. The son, nearly in tears, calls his sister in New York, “Sis,” he says, “You’re not going to believe this! Mom and dad are getting a…… a…… divorce!” “What?!” she shouts on the phone. “Oh, no. They aren’t! You stay put. I’ll call you right back!” And she hangs up. The sister calls the parents in Los Angels, “You two are not getting a divorce!” Mr. Hunter says, “Honey, listen……” The daughter says, “No, you listen! You are not getting a divorce! You know what? You don’t do anything! I’m calling brother back. We’ll be there tomorrow! Don’t do anything.” And she hangs up. Mr. Hunter hangs up calmly, looks at Mrs. Hunter, and says, “Well, they are coming for Thanksgiving and are paying their own fares. What shall we tell them on Christmas?” |
