Once upon a time a client was telling me how emotionally draining he had found the experience of being sworn to a statement in support of his divorce petition in order to apply for a decree nisi. “I actually shed a little tear,” he confessed, and then asked, “Do most people cry when they complete that document?”
“Some do, some don’t,” I replied.
“I suppose it’s like the bride’s mother at the wedding then,” he said, “Some cry, others don’t. Mind in my case, the mother in law to be was laughing; it was only my family weeping. It must have been an omen.”
I wasn’t quite sure what to say when he chuckled and added, “Come to think of it, even the wedding cake was in tiers!”
I breathed a sigh of relief. Sense of humour intact, my client was on the road to recovery.
