There are many relationships we may have in life but perhaps the one that will be the most important to us is the relationship we have with our parents. From the time we are babies, we rely on our mom and dad and as we get older, we are sure to have an even deeper relationship with them. Are there going to be some bumps along the way? Sure, but that doesn’t mean that we are not going to be close to them. As you are about to see in the following joke, being close doesn’t mean you know everything and sometimes, the truth can be alarming in the funniest way.
A couple was about to celebrate 50 years together. Their three kids, all very successful and wealthy, agreed to a Sunday dinner in honor of their parents. As usual, they were all late and had varied excuses.
“Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad,” gushed son number one. “Sorry, I’m running late… I just didn’t have the time to get you a present.”
“No worries,” said Dad. “The important thing is that we’re all together.”
Son number two arrived and announced, “Just flew in from L.A. and didn’t have time to get you anything… I’m sorry.”
“It’s nothing,” said the father, “just glad you could be here today.”
The daughter arrived. “Happy anniversary! I’m sorry, but I’ve been out of town and didn’t bring a present.”
Again the father said, “I really don’t care, at least the five of us are together today.”
Later, during dinner, the father put down his fork, looked up and said, “Listen, you three, there’s something your mother and I need to tell you. We came to this country penniless and desperate. Despite this, we were able to raise you and send you to college. But we never got around to getting married.”
The three kids gasped and said, in unison, “You mean we’re BASTARDS?”
“Yep,” said the dad. “And cheap ones, too!”
