“A Real Old-Fashioned Christmas”
A mother is planning a Real, Old-Fashioned Christmas. The radio is playing Christmas music. Then (BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!) a news bulletin says that the bus that Daddy always takes home from work has hit a tree. Then (BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!) another bulletin says that everyone on board was killed. A bus so flimsy that everyone gets killed in a collision with a tree? Then the doorbell rings, and it’s DADDY! He missed his regular bus! To hell with all those dead people, Daddy’s home and we’re going to have a Real, Old-Fashioned Christmas!
Why does Daddy ring his own doorbell? Did they change the locks as soon as they heard he was killed? LOL
