John invited his mother over for a dinner. During the meal, his mother
couldn't help noticing how beautiful John's roommate was. She had long
been suspicious of a relationship between John and his roommate and this
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 John and
the roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John
volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you,
Julie and I are just roommates.
About a week later, Julie came to John and said "Ever since your mother
came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy
ladle. You don't suppose she took it do you?" John said "Well I doubt
it, but I will write her a letter just to be sure."
So he sat down and wrote, "Dear Mother, I am not saying you 'did' take
the gravy ladle from my house, and I am not saying you 'didn't' take the
gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since
you were here for dinner."
Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which read:
"Dear Son, I am not saying that you 'do' sleep with Julie, and I'm not
saying that you 'do not' sleep with Julie. But the fact remains that if she
was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.
Love, Mom
Lesson of the day!
Don't Lie to your Mother.
