if our parents want our attention...
The
following is like an act,a play,a dialogue.
An Indian elderly man is in Mumbai,India.
he calls his son in New York.
Elderly Man:[madly,and a little anxious]"I hate to ruin your day son, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are getting a divorce; 35 years of marriage... and that much misery is enough!"
Son:[frantically answers back,screaming,
extreamely shocked.]''Dad, vhat are you talking about?"
Elderly Man:[still sounding Cross]" Ve can't stand the sight of each other any longer.
We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so YOU call your sister in
Hong Kong and tell her!"
The
father puts down the phone.the son was
dumbfounded .Frantically,he calls his sister.
Sister:[exploding to the phone;Shouting]"WHAT?Like heck they're getting divorced.I'll take care of this."
The sister puts down the phone and calls Mumbai immediately.
Sister:[screaming to her dad]"Dad? You are not getting divorced. Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and ve'll both be there tomorrow. Until then , don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR??"
The sister hangs up. The old man puts the phone down and turns to his wife.
Elderly Man:[smiling widely]"Okie-Dokie! It's all set. They're both coming for
Deepavali and paying their own airfare!"
Wife:"all we need to do now is decorate the place and put on this act."
They smiled to each other,like two Cheeky kids after a naughty plan,on the couch.
