Never Underestimate Mom

Never Underestimate the Intelligence
of a MOTHER!

BRIAN HESTER INVITED HIS MOTHER OVER FOR DINNER. DURING THE
COURSE OF THE MEAL, BRIAN'S MOTHER COULDN'T HELP BUT KEEP
NOTICING HOW BEAUTIFUL BRIAN'S ROOMMATE, STEPHANIE, WAS. MRS.
HESTER HAD LONG BEEN SUSPICIOUS OF A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BRIAN
AND HIS ROOMMATE, STEPHANIE, AND THIS HAD ONLY MADE HER MORE CURIOUS.

OVER THE COURSE OF THE EVENING, WHILE WATCHING THE TWO REACT,
MRS. HESTER STARTED TO WONDER IF THERE WAS MORE BETWEEN BRIAN
AND HIS ROOMMATE, STEPHANIE, THAN MET THE EYE. READING HIS MOM'S
THOUGHTS, BRIAN VOLUNTEERED, "I KNOW WHAT YOU MUST BE THINKING,
BUT I ASSURE YOU STEPANIE AND I ARE JUST ROOMMATES."

ABOUT A WEEK LATER, STEPHANIE 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 WRITE HER A LETTER JUST
TO BE SURE." SO HE SAT DOWN AND WROTE:

"DEAR MOTHER,

I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DID' OR 'DID NOT' TAKE THE GRAVY LADLE
FROM THE HOUSE. BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT ONE HAS BEEN MISSING
EVER SINCE YOU WERE HERE FOR DINNER."

SEVERAL DAYS LATER, BRIAN RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HIS MOTHER WHICH READ:

"DEAR SON,

I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DO' OR 'DO NOT' SLEEP WITH STEPHANIE.
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
