The mother-in-law stopped by her daughter’s house after shopping to find her son-in-law boiling angry and hurriedly packing his suitcase.
“What happened?” she asked anxiously.
“What happened?
I’ll tell you what happened.
I sent an email to my wife — your daughter — telling her I was coming home a day early from my fishing trip.
I got home… and guess what I found?
Your daughter in bed with a naked guy!
This is unforgivable, the end of our marriage.
I’m done.
I’m leaving forever!
”
“Calm down, calm down!
” said his mother-in-law.
“There’s something very odd about that.
She would never do such a thing.
There must be a simple explanation.
I’ll go speak to her and find out what happened.”
A few minutes later, the mother-in-law came back with a big smile and said, “I told you there must be a simple explanation — she didn’t get your email.”
