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

About a week later, Stephanie came to Brian saying,
"Ever since yo ur 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 Mother, I'm not
saying that you 'did' take the gravy ladle from the
house, and 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 a letter from his
mother that read:
"Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with
Stephanie, and I'm not saying that you '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: Never lie to your mother.
