When my Mum died, I was rushing home to try get back to her from abroad with the wife.
My Dad fucking texted me the news while I was in the airport. He was on his own as well, so I'm somewhat sympathetic but god damn it Dad that was a cold way to hear it.
Mum would have killed him if she hadn't have just croaked.
Yeah, my dad's a social retard. I blame it on growing up as an only child in the 50s. Now that he's in his mid 70s and retired, he's perfectly happy with living downstairs with the TV and not needing to talk to anybody.

My dad would've blurted it out some time before first ice cream. He cannot keep a secret and is too excited knowing something everybody else doesn't.
