I’m at my neighbors house and my second cousin happened to stop by.  We were on the porch shooting the breeze and he asked how things were going with my divorce.  I told him things were going very slowly.  A few other people happened to be on the porch and when the topic of the entire group switched to the subject of divorce, all eyes were on me.  I said, “not many people know why John and I are getting a divorce.”

  My cousin says “I know why.  Someone told me.” 

I was all ears to hear what this juicy piece of gossip could be.  I know why we are in the process of divorce, but couldn’t wait to hear from a distant cousin what others thought.

 “You’re not going to get mad are you?” he asked me.  ”

Hell no!”  I said.  “Just tell me already!”

“Well, I was told that John caught you in bed with the nanny.”  He confessed.

I couldn’t stop laughing.  Good thing I didn’t need to pee!  That was the funniest one yet on why I’m in this crazy divorce process.  I called the nanny and told her.  She thought it was even funnier than I did. 

Unless we were actually sleeping, I promise you, I was not in bed with the nanny.

(endnote: that probably would have earned me a gift of jewelry not a divorce suit…. if it HAD happened!)
