Elder Humour

My Mom's ex called the other day. She walked into my room to share bits of the conversation with me.

"Ex had a bad car accident!"

"He did? Oh my god, is he ok?"

"Yes, he's very lucky, the car had over $8,000.00 in damage but he wasn't hurt at all. The worst thing is that he is nervous to drive now."

I didn't respond immediately to my mother's last comment, my thoughts had turned to the fragility of life when her voice interrupted; "Yes, we came really close to getting some money."

*She's still the beneficiary and I have to add that it was just a joke. Funny as hell though when it sunk into me what she had just said.*

I'm sure he doesn't even know that when she thinks of him, dollar signs pop up in her eyes. ;o)
