Moshe and Sadie lived in a retirement home in Hendon and were celebrating their 50th anniversary. Although David, Henry and Alan, their 3 sons, had successful careers, they had been visiting their parents less and less over recent times. Nevertheless, the sons agreed to visit their parents at their home for a special Sunday dinner. As usual, they all arrived late and almost immediately their excuses began.
"Happy anniversary mum and dad," spurted David, "I'm sorry I'm late but I had an emergency at the hospital. You know how it is. So I didn't even have time to stop to get you both a present."
"Don't worry," said Moshe, "the main thing is, we're together, aren't we?"
Henry then came over. "Hi dad, you're looking great. And wow, mum, don't you look good also, you're looking just like a model. I just got in from Zurich where I closed the big deal I'd been working on for the last 6 months. So I came here straight from Heathrow and I'm sorry but I had no time to buy you both a gift. Next time, eh?"
"It's nothing," said Moshe, " the main thing is we're all together"
Then Alan came in and said, "Hi mum and dad. My firm is sending me to Paris for an important conference, so I'll have to leave as soon as we've finished dinner. I've been so busy packing that I didn't have time to buy you anything."
Moshe sighed and replied, "I don't care as long as I have my 3 sons together."
Halfway through the meal, Moshe, in a reflective mood, said, "Now might be a good time to tell you all something that has been on your mother's and my mind for years. Your mother and I, well, we came to England during the war. We had no money and were desperate and in our struggle to survive, I'm sorry to tell you that we never got around to getting married. We knew we loved each other and after a few years, it didn't seem so important, so... "
The 3 sons gasped, "Dad, do you mean.. do you mean.. we're bastards?"
"Yes," replied Moshe, "that's exactly what I do mean and cheap ones, too"
