On her 75th birthday, Ah-ling distributed her wealth among her four sons and announced that she would spend three months of the year with each son, in turn.  The arrangement worked well for a while and then the old woman found that the welcome she received at each son's house was becoming less and less cordial.

I was wondering about what you are going to do for this holiday." Me: "I'm going to heaven." Keisha: "Well.. bye." Then we both laughed. Keisha: "But seriously though, where are you going to?" Me: "I'm going to Antarctica." Keisha: "You're kidding! I'm going there too!" Me: "No! Really?" Keisha: "Yeah! I booked the ticket yesterday." Me: "Why are you going there?" Keisha: "My family live in Antarctica. But the main reason is..." Me: "What? Tell me!" Keisha: "I miss my dogs." Then I laughed. Me: "I miss my penguins too." Keisha: "Aw. Do you want to go there with me? I can easily book another ticket." M
