Home for Thanksgiving

The day before Thanksgiving, a man in Ohio calls his adult son in Michigan. "Son, I've had enough. After 40 years of marriage, I've decided to leave your mother." The son hysterically responded: "Dad, this cannot be happening. Don't do a thing until we get there to talk some sense into you!" The son then called his sister in Illinois, who became equally hysterical. She also called her father: "Dad, we're not going to let this happen, you and mom stay put, we'll be there tomorrow to work things out!" The father hung up the phone, looked at his wife and said: "The kids are coming for Thanksgiving, and they're paying their own way."
