This woman went on holiday leaving her husband behind. Before she left she told him to take special care of her pet Siamese cat. As soon as she arrived she phoned home to ask about the cat. Her husband said, "The cat just died! " She burst into tears and started to read the riot act to him, "How can you be so blunt? Why couldn't you have broken the news gradually? Today you could have said that it was playing on the roof. Tomorrow you could have added that it fell off the roof and broke it's leg. Then on the third day you could have said that the poor thing had passed away peacefully in the night. You could have been more sensitive about the whole thing! By the way, how's my mother? He said, "She's playing on the roof!"
