Four Old Friends and a Shocking Twist About Their Sons
After three decades apart, four old friends found themselves reunited at a lively party. They laughed, reminisced, and caught up on the years that had slipped by. As the drinks flowed and the night wore on, one of them excused himself to use the restroom. While he was away, the other three began to boast proudly about their children’s accomplishments.
The first father leaned back in his chair and smiled, “My son has done incredibly well for himself. He started off in a major corporation, working at the bottom rung. But he was determined. After earning degrees in Economics and Business Administration, he climbed the corporate ladder. Today, he’s the CEO of that very company. He’s done so well that he bought his best friend a brand-new luxury Mercedes-Benz for his birthday.”
Impressed, the second dad chimed in. “That’s amazing! My son also makes me proud. He began his career working for a large airline, then trained to become a pilot. Eventually, he became one of the primary stakeholders in the company. Now, he owns a substantial part of the airline. For his best friend’s birthday, he gifted him a private jet!”
The third dad nodded approvingly before sharing his own story. “My son studied at the top engineering schools and went on to establish his own construction firm. He’s now worth millions. Just recently, he surprised his best friend with a sprawling 30,000-square-foot mansion as a birthday gift.”
The three fathers exchanged smiles, congratulating each other on raising such successful children. Just then, the fourth friend returned from the restroom and noticed the cheerful mood. Curious, he asked, “What’s all the celebration about?”
One of the men answered, “We were just discussing how proud we are of our sons and all they’ve achieved. What about your son?”
The fourth man took a sip of his drink and replied with a straight face, “Well, my son’s a bit different. He’s gay and works as a dancer at a nightclub.”
There was a moment of awkward silence. The other three fathers looked at each other, unsure how to respond. One of them finally muttered, “Oh… that’s, uh… unfortunate.”
But the fourth dad grinned. “Unfortunate? Not at all. I love my son, and I couldn’t be prouder of him. He’s doing just fine. In fact, for his birthday a couple of weeks ago, his three boyfriends gave him a 30,000-square-foot mansion, a private jet, and a luxury Mercedes!”
Little Johnny and the Door-to-Door Salesman
Later that same day, a traveling salesman knocked on the door of a family home. Little Johnny answered.
“Hi there,” said the salesman. “Is your dad home?”
Johnny shook his head. “Nope. He’s in the shower.”
“What about your mom?”
“She’s in the shower too,” Johnny replied.
The salesman chuckled. “Do you think they’ll be out soon?”
Johnny thought for a moment and said, “Probably not. Dad asked me to bring him the Vaseline… but I gave him the super glue instead.”
