Getting Farther And Father From Their Plan
(Father’s Day is approaching.)
Husband’s Sister: “Okay, this is what I’ve planned for Dad for Father’s Day. I need you to get to my house early so that we can set stuff up for the barbeque that we’ll have later in the day.”
Husband: “Um, wait a sec. I’m glad to help set stuff up, but I can’t be there until after 1:00 or so.”
Sister: “Why not?”
Husband: “I have plans.”
Sister: “What? What plans? What plans could you possibly have on Father’s Day?”
Husband: “[Wife] and [Daughters] are taking me out for brunch.”
Sister: “Oh. I guess you’re a father, too, huh?”
Husband: “Yup. Have been for the last several years, actually.”
(The kicker is that she’s married with kids – and yet, she seemed to have completely forgotten about doing anything for her husband that day, too.)
