Thanksgiving 感恩节
Mr. Hunter calls his son in Boston. The old man says,“Son, I hate to bring you the bad news…… but your mother and I, we are getting a divorce.”The son is surprised, “What?? You can’t!”
亨特先生给在波士顿的儿子打电话。老人说：“儿子，我不想带给你坏消息……但是我和你妈要离婚了。”儿子非常吃惊，“什么??你们不能!”
Mr. Hunter says, “I’m sorry, son! Forty-five years of misery is enough! Now, I am sick of talking about it, call your sister and tell her!” And he hangs up.
亨特先生说，“对不起，儿子!45年的痛苦已经够了!我讨厌说这些了，给你姐打电话告诉她!”就挂了电话。

儿子几乎是哭着给在纽约的姐姐打电话，“姐，”他说：“你不会相信的!妈和爸要…要…离婚!”

And she hangs up.
女儿说：“不，你听着!你们不准离婚!你知道吗?什么都不要做!我给弟弟打电话，我们明天就回去!任何事都不要做。”然后挂了电话。
