Your Mom, Not Mine
At the beginning of a new year, I stay at the hospital to take care of my mother-in-law on my own. My wife, Yelena Lipton, on the other hand, is on a vacation with her first love, Phillip Warren, in a tropical island overseas.
Funnily enough, I'm the last one who finds out about her impending marriage with Phillip.
When my mother-in-law hears about the news, her condition deteriorates to the point she gets sent into the treatment room immediately. I have to call Yelena over a dozen times for her to finally pick up the call.
"Do you have a death wish or something? Why did you bombard me with calls? I'm in the middle of something right now, so leave me alone!"
After that, Yelena ends the call. Since then, I keep failing to get in contact with her. During that time, my mother-in-law has passed away from the treatment failure.
When I'm done organizing the funeral, I send Yelena a divorce agreement right away.
"Have you gone nuts? It's just an announcement to cheer Phillip up! Are you seriously going to file a divorce from me?"
After hearing Yelena's accusations, I reply calmly, "Mom's dead. I've already dealt with everything concerning her passing. You should come back and visit her grave."
