One afternoon a husband arrived home with sadnews for his wife...
Husband: Wife, I just received a call, mother(mama) passed away. Shall we go
to town and get some necessities for the funeral? Please write a list and
then we can go.
Wife: A list won't be necessary, we'll just get 2 cabbages & 2 liters of
cooking oil.
Husband: Is it going to be enough?
Wife: No need to waste money, of course its going to be enough!(They left
for town and after getting two cabbages and 2 liters of cooking oil, the
husband asked his wife again if that was all. She emphasised the issue of
not wasting money on the funeral. They the hit the road towards the village
and where the road branches to different villages, the husband driving, took
a turn to his wife's home.)
Wife: Where are we going, thought you said we are going to the funeral, your
mother passed away.
Husband: Yes we are; its YOUR mother who passed away.
Wife (shocked & crying): But that grocery is not enough! Lets go back and
get some more stuff!
Husband: NO! I asked you over and over if it was all that was needed and you
said "yes"; so we are not going back!
