The Cat’s on the Roof 🐈‍⬛

“A family is going on a vacation, and they ask the boy next door to take care of the cat while they’re away.

Halfway through the trip, they call the boy to ask how the cat is doing. He says, “I’m sorry, but the cat is dead.”

The family is distraught. They tell the kid that he should have broken the news more gently. They suggest that he could have said the cat is on the roof and won’t come down. Then the next time they called him, he could tell them the cat had died. That way they would have been more prepared for the bad news.

The next year, the family goes on another vacation. This time, they ask the boy to take care of the grandmother who is too elderly to travel.

Halfway through the trip, they call the boy to ask how grandma is doing.

He says, “grandma’s on the roof.””
