An elderly man picked up the phone one afternoon and called his son. In a weary voice, he said, \u201cListen, your mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of misery is enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shocked, the son nearly dropped the phone. \u201cDad, what are you talking about? You\u2019ve been together forever!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe can\u2019t stand each other anymore,\u201d the old man replied. \u201cI\u2019m tired of seeing her face, and I\u2019m done talking about this. Call your sister and let her know,\u201d and with that, he hung up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The son, now deeply worried, immediately dialed his sister. \u201cYou\u2019re not going to believe this \u2014 Mom and Dad are getting divorced!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?!\u201d she gasped. \u201cThere\u2019s no way I\u2019m letting this happen.\u201d Without another word, she called their father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are NOT getting divorced!\u201d she said firmly. \u201cMy brother and I are flying home tomorrow to talk this through. Until then, don\u2019t call a lawyer or sign anything. DO YOU HEAR ME?\u201d She hung up before he could respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The old man slowly put the phone down, turned to his wife with a sly smile, and said, \u201cAlright\u2026 they\u2019re both coming for Thanksgiving.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
