Don’t lie to your mother!!!

DON'T LIE TO YOUR MOTHER

Mrs Jenkins comes to visit her son Anthony for dinner, who lives with a female roommate Belinda. During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Anthony's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this had only made her more curious.

Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between them than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Anthony volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Belinda and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Belinda came to Anthony saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"

"Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote:

Dear Mom, I'm not saying that you 'did' take the sugar bowl from my apartment, I'm not saying that you 'did not' take it. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Anthony

Several days later, Anthony received a response email from his mother, which read:

Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Belinda, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the sugar bowl by now.
Love, Mom

Lesson of the day: Don't lie to your mother!!! :wink:
