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!!”
