I'm a ghostwriter and book editor - there are a lot of amazing and inspirational stories that deserve and need to be told... so I help shape and polish the writing first!
I'm a mom of two teenagers and the wife of an amazing man and, at heart, a loner who doesn't like to be alone. Some days, I want to jump on the bed and laugh joyously and, other times, I can barely suppress the temptation to crawl under the bed and hide from the world. Bi-polar? Nope... just a girl!...

Thanksgiving Divorce

Wednesday, November, 26, 2008

So a man in Jacksonville calls his son in San Diego two days 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 Denver 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 Jacksonville 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 the phone and turns to his wife.

“OK,” he says, “they’re coming for Thanksgiving and paying their own way.”

HERE’S HOPING YOUR THANKSGIVING INCLUDES LOTS OF FAMILY, FOOD, FAITH AND LAUGHTER!

Yes definitely one to use on the kids when they are older and have the audacity to move away and have their own lives.
