A girl went to Europe for 5 days with her friends.
She asked her boyfriend to watch her cat while she was gone. The first day she was gone, the cat was hit by a car and was killed. The first day she was gone she called and asked how her cat was doing. He didn’t want to ruin her vacation so he said the cat was fine. The second day she called and he said the same thing. The third day, the same. When she finally returned she wanted to see her cat. Her boyfriend said that, sadly, her cat was dead. She went into a deep state of sadness. “Why didn’t you just tell me?!” He said he didn’t want to ruin her vacation. She said that he could have gently overtime. He asked what did she mean. She said the first day you could have said that she was on the roof and we couldn’t get her down. The second day we got her down but she was injured but the veterinarian said should be fine. The third day he could have said that the cat was suffering worse than they thought. Etc, etc. It would have been lies but at least it would have cushioned the blow. Her boyfriend apologized and she said it was okay because he was only doing the right thing. So she asked how her mother was doing in the retirement home. He thought for a second and said, “She’s on the roof and we can’t get her down.”
