Twins Send Dad to Nursing Home, Learn He Left Inheritance to Janitor Who Is Their Carbon Copy – Story of the Day
Jerry and Carl were twin brothers who impatiently waited for their dad Bruce’s inheritance. One day, they were tired of taking care of him and sent him over to a nursing home. But that decision would backfire on them.
“Dude, let’s just take dad to the nursing home. How much longer do we have to wait for our inheritance? I’m so tired of taking care of him,” Jerry told his twin brother Carl. They had been taking turns taking their father in six months each year.

When Jerry and Carl found out, they were furious. They demanded that the conservatorship be transferred to one of them, but Bruce refused. “There is no need for that. Here is a bank account wherein you can withdraw money for the expenses you’re incurring because of me living here,” Bruce said, handing them a passbook.
Jerry and Carl were not convinced. Though the account had a considerable amount of money in it, they knew their father had so much more. One day, they decided to kick him out.
“Dad,” they sat Bruce down one day. “Carl and I have decided to put you in a nursing home,” Jerry said.
Bruce was shocked at their decision. “Why? I have not given you any trouble in the past....
