Evolution of love

How is my mom?

A woman went on vacation, leaving her husband behind. Before she left, she told him to take extra special care of her 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 its 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.

By the way, how is my mom?

Husband: She is playing on the roof.
