Cyril and Freda have 3 sons, Melvyn, Benjamin and Harry. One day they all got involved in a big argument over whether Freda should invite her first cousin to Melvyn’s forthcoming wedding. During the shouting match, they upset Freda so much she ended up crying. So Cyril asked his sons to repeat three times that they were sorry for upsetting their mother. They apologised in unison.
Melvyn said, “We are sorry, we are sorry, we are sorry.”
Benjamin said, “We are sorry, we are sorry.”
Harry said, “We are sorry, we are sorry, we are sorry, we are sorry.”
WHICH OF HIS 3 SONS DID EXACTLY AS CYRIL HAD ASKED?
Answer: Harry, because he said, “We are sorry.” And then repeated it 3 times.
