Thread: Never lie to your Mama

An oldie but worth repeating.....





Mrs. Pruett comes to visit her son, Bert, for dinner. He lives with a female roommate, Sarah.

During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Bert 's roommate is.


Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Bert and his roommate than met the eye.

Reading his mom's thoughts, Bert volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Sarah and I are just roommates.''

About a week later, Sarah came to Bert 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 an email:

Dear Mama,

I'm not saying that you "did" take the sugar bowl from my house; 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, Bert

Several days later, Bert received a response email from his Mama which read:

Dear son,

I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Sarah, and I'm not saying that you "do not" sleep with her.
But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the sugar bowl by now.

Love, Mama


Moral: Never lie to your mama .

good one!
