An 80-year old man called his son in New York one November day.

The father said to the son, “I hate to tell you, but we’ve got some troubles here in the house. Your mother and I can’t stand each other anymore, and we’re getting a divorce. I’ve had it! I want to live out the rest of my years in peace. I’m telling you now, so you and your sister won’t go into shock later when I move out.”

He hung up, and the son immediately called his sister in the Hamptons to tell her the news.

The sister said, “I’ll handle this.”

She called Florida and told her father, “Don’t do ANYTHING till we get there! We’ll be there Wednesday night.”

The father agreed, “All right.”

The old man hung up the phone and hollered to his wife, “Okay, they’re coming for Thanksgiving. Now, what are we going to tell them for Christmas?”
