I'm Divorcing Your Mother?

Question

Morris calls his son in New York. Morris says "Benny, I have something to tell you. However, I don't want to discuss it. I'm merely telling you because you're my oldest child, and I thought you ought to know. I've made up my mind, I'm divorcing your mother."

The son is shocked, and asks his father to tell him what happened.

"I don't want to get into it. My mind is made up."

"But Dad, you just can't decide to divorce Mum just like that after 54 years together. What happened?"

"It's too painful to talk about it. I only called because you're my son, and I thought you should know. I really don't want to get into it anymore than this. You can call your sister and tell her. It will spare me the pain."

"But where's Mum? Can I talk to her?"

"No, I don't want you to say anything to her about it. I haven't told her yet. Believe me it hasn't been easy. I've agonised over it for several days, and I've finally come to a decision. I have an appointment with my lawyer the day after tomorrow."

"Dad, don't do anything rash. I'm going to take the first flight to London. Promise me that you won't do anything until I get there."

"Well, all right, I promise. Next week is Passover. I'll hold off seeing the lawyer until after the Seder. Call your sister in New Jersey and break the news to her. I just can't bear to talk about it anymore."

A half hour later, Morris receives a call from his daughter who tells him that she and her brother were able to get tickets and that they and the children will be arriving at Heathrow the day after tomorrow. "Benny told me that you don't want to talk about it on the telephone, but promise me that you won't do anything until we both get there."

Morris promises.

After hanging up from his daughter, Morris turns to his wife and says, "Well, it worked this time, they're coming for Seder night, but we are going to have to come up with a new idea to get them here Rosh Hashanah."

Answer 2

haha!! my Mother told me one time I should come home for Christmas, because Dad had to go in for surgery after the new year. Some tests by the doctors didn't look too promising, and he might not have that long. Turns out they removed a mole from his cheek "just in case", even though tests showed it was benign. That was 10 years ago. I talked to my Dad yesterday. He just finished drilling a well for a neighbor, and has 3 more lined up. LOL. bbjo.
