Now that they are retired, my mother and father were discussing all aspects of their future.

"What will you do if I die before you do?" Dad asked Mom.

After some thought, Mom said that she'd probably look for a house-sharing situation with three other single or widowed women who might be a little younger than herself, since she is so active for her age.

Then Mom asked Dad, "What will you do if I die first?"

He replied, "Probably the same thing."
