My brother has cancer. /A few weeks ago, my mom had my brother’s family and my family over for dinner. Tony had just gotten a lump removed from his neck. There was a possibility it was cancer, but he hadn’t yet gotten the results. When it was time to set the table, Tony said, “I can’t because of the cancer.” / When it was time to clear the table Tony said, “I can’t because of the cancer.” / He got a few chuckles from his kids, but his wife, Lisa, who didn’t laugh, said, “What is wrong with you?” / From across the table, I said, “Lisa, he has cancer.” / She laughed hard. Everyone laughed, so I called for a vote. / Whenever someone in my family says anything funny, that person calls for a vote. I said, “Who’s the funniest in the family?” Like always, we all voted for ourselves. I’m 50 now and Tony is 52. We’ve been voting this way since we were little kids.
