HAVING MOM OVER FOR DINNER

You don't even have to be a mother to enjoy this one.

Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but notice how beautiful Brian's roommate, Jennifer, was. Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of the 'platonic' relationship between Brian and Jennifer, 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 Brian and Jennifer than met the eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, 'I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Jennifer and I are just roommates.'
About a week later, Jennifer came to Brian saying, '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?'
Brian said, 'Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure. So he sat down and wrote:

Dear Mom,
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the gravy ladle from the house, I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Brian

Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read:

Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Jennifer, I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Jennifer. But the fact remains that if Jennifer is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.
Love, Mom

Good old mom!

Super slueth.

My own mother ( godbless her cotton socks) was a tryant in her day,so house proud she would make us wait outside until the floors dried,and ironed bed sheets while on the bed,after just spending hours doing them with the iron.(not a wrinkle anywhere!)

As she aged she has mellowed,however,the one thing she does that's drives all her daughters crazy is,when she goes somewhere she uses the toilet first thing,restaurant,hotel,or visiting someone,if the toliets are not up to scratch she won't stay and makes no bones about it!

She figures if there is no soap,towel or a hint of bleach the whole place is riddled with germs.

I agree Red, Moms are special. She raised eight of us Austrian/Irish kids and let me tell you she DID have eyes in the back of her head... I proved it!

Can you imagine 10 people at dinner each evening and we all sat down at the same time each evening.

So much love spread equally among so many.

Mother's are very smart creatures and can come up with some very interesting "trials".

Classic, I'm not sure why, but moms seem to have a better instinct for knowing when their kids are up to no good than dads. Has anyone else noticed that too?
