An old man called his son and said,
“Son, I have some terrible news. Your mother and I are getting a divorce. After 45 years of misery, I’ve had enough!”
“What?! Divorce?!” his son shouted.
“Call your sister and tell her,” the old man replied.
Then he hung up.
The son immediately called his sister.
“Dad says Mom and he are getting divorced!”
His sister exploded.
“Like heck they are!”
She immediately called their father.
“Dad, you are NOT getting divorced! We’re both flying home tomorrow. Don’t you dare do anything until we get there!”
The old man calmly said, “Okay,” and hung up.
He turned to his wife and smiled.
“Perfect.”
His wife looked confused.
“What’s perfect?”
He grinned.
“They’re both coming home for Christmas…”
He paused.
“And they’re paying for their own flights!”
His wife smiled.
“After 45 years, you finally learned how to get the kids home for the holidays.”
