The phone call

Last night at 8 pm, Joe got a call from his mother asking if he knew where his dad was.  She needed a ride home from their store which is about a 30 minute drive from our house to her house which is about a 45 minute drive from her store.  All in all it is about an hours and a half drive round trip.  His father left the store around 2 pm to go to computer class ( a whole other blog posting) and didn't call or come back to get his mother from the store.  Still nothing from him at 9 pm, so Joe got into his car and picked his mother up (who has pancreatic cancer, undergoing chemo, and looking very sick these days) because his father left her stranded for SEVEN hours and counting!  As Joe was rounding the corner to their house, his father called to say that he was just leaving their house then (10:00 pm) to pick his mother up.  Wow, pretty ridiculous.

So, what was he doing for all that time????  Computer class, which I think he has a lifetime membership for, and the instructor made a house call to help him in more computer stuff.  He had his phone on silent and didn't hear the numerous calls and DIDn't think to call his wife...I  mean it was only SEVEN hours away from her, why would you call your sick wife?  That's just silly people talk.
