An old man, well into his golden years, picks up the phone one day and calls his son. With a solemn voice, he delivers what seems like devastating news:
“Listen, your mother and I are getting divorced. Forty-five years of misery is enough.”
His son, taken aback, shouts, “Dad, what are you talking about?”
The old man sighs heavily and continues, “We can’t stand each other anymore. I’m tired of seeing her face, and I’m done talking about this. Call your sister and let her know.” Without waiting for a reply, he abruptly hangs up.
Shocked and distressed, the son immediately calls his sister to relay the startling news. “What? They’re getting divorced?!” she exclaims in disbelief.
Furious and determined, the sister wastes no time. She picks up her phone and dials their father. The moment he answers, she unleashes her outrage.
You are NOT getting divorced!” she yells. “My brother and I are flying home tomorrow to talk this through. Until then, don’t call a lawyer or sign anything. DO YOU HEAR ME?”
She slams the phone down, her anger evident.
