A man and woman were celebrating 50 years together.
Their three kids, all very successful, agreed to a Sunday dinner in their honor:
“Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad. “Gushed son number one… “Sorry I’m running late, I had an emergency, you know how it is, didn’t have time to get you both a present”.
“Nothing to worry about. “Said the dad. “The important thing is that we’re all here together today. “
Son number two arrived and announced. “You and Mom still look great, Dad. Just flew in from L. A. and didn’t have time to get you a present… Sorry. “
“It’s nothing. “Said the father. “Glad you were able to be here. “
Just then the daughter arrived. “Hello both of you, Happy Anniversary! I’m sorry, but my boss is sending me out of town and I was really busy packing, so I didn’t have time to get you guys anything. “
Again the father said. “I really don’t care, at least the five of us are together today. “
After they had all finished dessert, the father put down his knife and fork, looked up and said. “Listen up, all three of you, there’s something your mother and I have wanted to tell you for a long time. You see, we were very poor. Despite this, we were able to raise each of you and send you to college. All through the years your mother and I knew that we loved each other very much, but we just never found the time to get married. “
The three kids gasp and said. “You mean we’re bastards. “
“Yep. “Said the dad. “And cheap ones too. “
