Has Father died?

Looks like it, why are you smiling?

Because of my heritage.

Your what?

My inheritance, you know, the house is mine!

No it’s not.

Yes it is, I trimmed the hedge more than you, I even repaired the fence once, you did nothing.

Rubbish! Anyway, our sister was always his favourite.

Just because she’s a barber doesn’t mean she gets the hair-loom.

Oh, he snorted, he’s still alive!

Really?

Yes, that’s wiped the smile off your face.

Now there’s a smile on his face, do you think he overheard us?

That would be mortfying…

    That’s what happens when Dad takes a nap on Sunday afternoon. He’s smiling because he left his wealth to the Humane Society. Gone to the dogs, kids. 🙂

    I can only imagine this has already happened on quite a few occasions! Cleverly done.
