Santa was very confident it would be a boy

Santa Singh's wife was expecting and the baby was due any day.
Santa was very confident it would be a boy and was looking forward
to the D-day. As fate would have it, he was transferred to another
city and had to join office immediately. Before going,
he asked his father -in-law to send a telegram confirming
birth of his son. But in order to avoid giving party to his
office colleagues, he asks his father -in-law to write "the
watch has arrived" and he will understand that the son is born.


The D-day arrived. His wife delivered a cute little baby girl.
Now Santa's father-in-law didn't know what to do.
If he writes "the watch has arrived" Santa will think he has got a Son.
If he writes " watch has not arrived" Santa will get worried that something serious has happened.
But being a very intelligent person,he finds a solution and sends the telegram.


Santa received the telegram,
opened it eagerly and reads "The watch has arrived, but the pendulum is missing".
