It runs in the family

A woman goes into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss asked sympathetically, "What's the matter?"

The woman replies, "Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away."

The boss, feeling sorry for her, says, "Why don't you go home for the day? Take the day off to relax and rest."

"Thanks, but I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that here."

The boss agrees and allows the woman to work as usual. A couple of hours pass and the boss decides to check on the woman. He looks out from his office and see the woman crying hysterically.

"What's so bad now? Are you gonna be okay?" he asks.

"No!" exclaims the woman. "I just received a horrible call from my sister. Her mother died, too."
