A woman went on vacation, leaving her husband behind.

Before she left, she told him to take extra special care of her beloved cat.

The next day she called her husband and asked if the cat was all right.

Her husband said, “The cat just died.”

She burst into tears and said, “How could you be so blunt? Why couldn’t you have broken the news gradually!”…

“Today, you could have said that it was playing on the roof,”…

“Tomorrow, you could have said that it fell off and had broken it’s leg,”…

“Then on the third day, you could have said that the poor thing had passed away in the night.”

“You could have been more sensitive about the whole thing.”

The wife continued, “By the way, how is my mom?”

The husband paused for moment, then said,…

“She’s playing on the roof.”
