'Dad, what are you talking about?' the son screams.
"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says.
"We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in
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 Mumbai immediately, and screams at the old man, "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??" and she hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. 'Okay', he says, 'It's all set. They're both coming for our anniversary and paying their own airfare!!'

That teeny phone is just so cute, I can't stand it! I love it.
I'm pretty good when it comes to my parents but not so good with inlaws...I'll work on that :)

Luckily I'm in the opposite end of the spectrum, I call too much...hehehe. I have decided to not call so often. Quality not Quantity..heehee.

Aaww, saw you on a few mutual blogger friends blogrolls (Shop 'n Chomp, Unbeweavable, etc) and thought I'd stop by. Very cute/sweet story! We definitely need to appreciate our loved ones more.
Will be back soon and always glad to meet more blogger buddies!

Time - quality time - what happened to that ?

Good one!!! I need to call my folks today too... Guilt setting in...
nice ploy those two! hahaha, it's difficult keeping in touch, for sure. it's difficult, but it's important!
hahaha! so good story! and so true! xo
utterly fantastic
That was too good, too good.
Shoot I already got a divorce now what will I use as bait when the kids are older?
bahahah! well, that is so sad but true!
i love the parents and all, but spending two days with them every now and again is PLENTY. i am guessing they feel the same way about me. :)
Brilliant choice of visuals!
Thanks,
Michael
yes....
me too I feel guilty....
I have the excuse of living in an other country but....
LOL this is the cutest story EVER!! K, off to call my mom!
::Hugs::
HA that is adorable! Such a good reminder...must hang out with the parents haha thanks Lenore! XO
Fun Post LNM! I actually think my mother sounds frustrated and a bit annoyed when I call her for the third time in the same day. I usually have nothing to say and it still takes up an hour of her time...
xoxo
Guilty as charged. I am trying to be better, really I am!!! This is the funniest post, my sweet. You always rock my world. xoxo Gigi
BTW, I keep meaning to tell you how much I *love* your new profile picture--we get a real peek! Wow!
LOL! I love the first phone. So beautiful! I hope your trip is coming to an end.
OMG!!!

I'm literally in stitches right now, snorting like an uncontrollable nutter!!!
What a great plan!!!! gonna have to remember this when I get old, haha!!!
Girl you crack me up so much!!!
Olivia
So darling....I love your post today!

I do call my mom all the time but there are definitely other people I need to give more attention to.

I'm so guilty tooo :( Thanks for the reminder and story, hope you're having a good week!
Lovely lovely lovey!!! :) But I am un-guilty as the driven snow - I am in constant contact with my sole remaining relative : my Dad, every waking day!! I'm a bit hopeless about everything else however!! Have a gorgeous weekend sweetie!! XXX's
i am definitely guilty of not spending enough quality time with my parents! it is a bit harder as they're divorced so one is in indonesia and one is here but i wish i could be with them all the time! especially now that i realized how important they are to me :)
I lived in the same city as my parents until 2 years ago when they moved 900 miles away. I miss them terribly and feel like I completely took it for granted when they were here. But they're coming for a visit tomorrow, yay!
P.S. I love that tiny phone!
that mini phone is just too adorable!
So funny!!♥♥ I love your inspired posts dear Lenore... and yeah... I'm guilty too.
HAHAAAAAAAAAA! What a hilarious tale. I'm guilty of not spending enough time with my parents...
Hahah! How cute!
