STRANGE COINCIDENCE

Mary came into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss, concerned about all his employees’ well being, asked sympathetically:

“What's the matter?”

To which the girl replied:

“Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away.”

The boss, feeling very sorry for his young employee, suggested:

“Why don't you go home for the day? We aren't terribly busy, just take the day off to relax and rest.”

Mary very calmly stated:

“No. I'll be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that here.”

The boss agreed and allowed her to work as usual:

“If you need anything just let me know.”

A few hours passed and the boss decided to check on Mary. He looked out of his office and saw her crying hysterically. He rushed out to her, asking:

“What's so bad now? Are you going to be OK? What's wrong?”

Mary broke down in tears:

“I just received a horrible call from my sister. She said that her mom died too!!”
