A man in Phoenix calls his son in New York the day before
Thanksgiving and says,”I hate to ruin your day, but I
have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing;
forty-five years of misery is enough.
“Pop, what are you talking about?” the son
screams. We can’t stand the sight of each other any
longer,” the father says. “We’re sick of each
other, and I’m sick of talking about this, so you call
your sister in Chicago and tell her.”
Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the
phone. “Like heck they’re getting divorced,”
she shouts, “I’ll take care of this,”
She calls Phoenix immediately, and screams at her father,
”You are NOT getting divorced. Don’t do a single
thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back,
and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t
do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?” and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.
”Okay,” he says, “they’re coming for
Thanksgiving and paying their own way.”

hmm i’m gonna try this with anyone of my 5 that states they are NOT coming home for a holiday!
Could you imagine?
