Morris
calls his son in NY and says, "Benny, I have
something to tell you. However, I don't want to discuss it. I'm merely
telling you because you're my oldest child, and I thought you ought to
know. I've made up my mind, I'm divorcing Mama."
The son is shocked, and asks his father
to tell him what happened.
"I don't want to get into it. My mind
is made up."
"But Dad, you just can't decide to
divorce Mama just like that after 54 years together. What happened?"
"It's too painful to talk about it.
I only called because you're my son, and I thought you should know. I
really
don't want to get into it anymore than this. You can call your sister
and tell
her. It will spare me the pain."
"But where's Mama?
Can I talk to her?"
"No, I don't want you to say anything
to her about it. I haven't told her yet. Believe me it hasn't been
easy. I've
agonized over it for several days, and I've finally come to a decision.
I have
an appointment with the lawyer the day
after tomorrow."
"Dad, don't do anything rash. I'm
going to take the first flight down. Promise me that you won't do
anything
until I get there."
"Well, all right, I promise. Next
week is Passover. I'll hold off seeing the lawyer until after the
Seder. Call
your sister in NJ and break the news to her. I just can't bear to talk
about
it anymore."
A half hour later, Morris receives
a call from his daughter who tells him that she and her brother were
able to
get tickets and that they and the children will be arriving in Florida
the day
after tomorrow. "Benny told me that you don't want to talk about it on
the telephone, but promise me that you won't
do anything until we both get there."
Morris promises. After hanging up
from his daughter, Morris turns to his wife and says, "Well, it worked
this time,
but what are we going to do next Yom Tov to
get them to come down?"
