A phone conversation

Got a phone call from Dad tonight that went something like this.

"Do you have a few days available?"

"Why?"

"Your mother broke her arm."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"No...really?"

"Yes...would I lie?"

"Put mom on the phone."

"What...you don't believe me?"

"Put mom on the phone."

"Curtis had the same reaction. He didn't believe me either!"

"I wonder why. Put mom on the phone."

And, yes, she did break her arm...elbow to be exact. She confirmed it herself.
