You see, we were very poor. Despite this, we managed to send each of you to college. Throughout the years, we knew we loved each other deeply, but we never found the time to actually get married.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The three children gasped and exclaimed, \u201cYou mean we\u2019re bastards?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYep,\u201d the father said with a grin, \u201cand cheap ones, too!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>LOL!!<\/p>\n<p>Hope this joke will make you smile!
