after 60 years together,
[FONT="]Their three kids, all successful, [/FONT]
[FONT="]agreed to a Sunday dinner in their honor.[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]"Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad," [/FONT]
[FONT="]gushed Son No. 1.[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]'Sorry I'm running late. [/FONT]
[FONT="]I had an emergency at the hospital with a patient, [/FONT]
[FONT="]you know how it is, and I didn't have time to get you a gift."
[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]"Not to worry," said the father. [/FONT]
[FONT="]"Important thing is we're all together today."[/FONT]
[FONT="]Son No. 2 arrived.
"You and Mom look great, Dad. [/FONT]
[FONT="]I just flew in from Montreal between depositions [/FONT]
[FONT="]and didn't have time to shop for you.[/FONT]
[FONT="]“It’s nothing," said the father. [/FONT]
[FONT="]"We're glad you were able to come."[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]Just then the daughter arrived.
"Hello and happy anniversary! [/FONT]
[FONT="]Sorry, but my boss is sending me out of town [/FONT]
[FONT="]and I was really busy packing [/FONT]
[FONT="]so I didn't have time to get you anything."[/FONT]
[FONT="]After they had finished dessert, the father said, [/FONT]
[FONT="]"There's something your mother and I
have wanted to tell you for a long time.[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]
You see, we were really poor, [/FONT]
[FONT="]but we managed to send each of you to college.
Through the years your mother [/FONT]
[FONT="]and I knew we loved each other very much, [/FONT]
[FONT="]but we just never found the time to get married."
[/FONT][FONT="]
[/FONT][FONT="]The three children gasped and said,[/FONT]
[FONT="]"WHAT? You mean we're bastards?"[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]"Yep", said the father. "Cheap ones, too …"[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
