Family get together
Posted: Thu Aug 15, 2019 9:05 am
Stewart and his wife Penny celebrating forty years together. Their three children, all very successful, all agreed to a Saturday dinner in their honour.
"Happy Anniversary Mum and Dad!" gushed Marc, son number one and a cardiologist "Sorry I'm running late. I had an emergency at the hospital with a patient, you know the rules, and didn't have time to get you a gift".
"Do not worry son! " said Stewart, the important thing is that we're all together today".
Son number two Jamie, a lawyer, arrived and announced "You and Dad look great, Mum!" I just flew in from Chicago between depositions and didn't have time to shop for you".
"Do not worry son!" said Penny "We're glad you were able to come".
Just then daughter Eliza, a marketing executive, arrived. "Hello and Happy Anniversary! I'm sorry but my boss is sending me out of town and I was really busy packing, so I didn't have time to get you anything".
After they finished dinner, Stewart said "There's something your mother and I have wanted to tell you for a long time. You see, we were very poor. But we worked hard, we were able to send each of you to university. Throughout the years your mother and I knew we loved each other very much, but we just never found the time to get married".
The three children were bewildered and all said "You mean we're b@st@rds?"
"Yes" said Stewart
