Timing

We went to visit my father-in-law at the hospital last night.  He was in good spirits, and raved about the food.  There were four or six family members sitting and standing around his bed when my mother-in-law announced that she had finished paying for his burial.  I know that this was just financial information that she had on her mind and wanted to tell Terry because he helps with their accounts, but....seriously - timing!  My father-in-law is going to go home and be fine for a long time.  I don't know if he really heard the announcement because he didn't say anything, just smiled, but it makes me laugh every time I think about it.
