An oldie but a goodie!

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn’t help but notice John’s roommate.

She had long been suspicious of John and his roommate, but she had kept those suspicions to herself. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she began to think that her suspicions were correct. There seemed to be more to the two of them than met the eye.

Reading his mom’s thoughts, John volunteered, “I know what you’re thinking, but I assure you, Bruce and I are just roommates.”

About a week later, Bruce approached John and told him: “Ever since your mother came over for dinner, I’ve been unable to locate our silver serving tray. You don’t suppose she took it do you?”

“I doubt it,” John said, but I’ll ask her to make sure.

So he sat down and wrote his mother an e-mail:

Dear Mother,

I’m not saying you ‘did’ take our silver-serving tray from the house, but it has been missing since you came for dinner.

Love, John

Later, John received an e-mail response from his mother.

Dear John,

I’m not saying that you ‘do’ sleep with Bruce, but if Bruce were sleeping in his own bed he would have found the serving tray under his comforter.

Love, Mom

That is a good one! What is bad is the need to lie about what they do.

Clever mother!

Trickster, she was! Now that mom wanted the truth and she had a plan to get it! It never pays to lie...people will find a way to find out, and ‘egg on face,’ is never enough to hide the whole body!

Well hey.... that makes since. But lets say dad came over and pulled the same crap. You ready?!!!
WHATS YOUR DAD DOING IN MY BEDROOM!???THAT PERVERT!!!! IT AINT NONE OF HIS DISGUSTING BUSINESS THAT WE'RE SLEEPING TOGRTHER. I NEVER WANT HIM OVER HERE AGAIN..... YOUR DADS A PERVERT!!!! I HATE HIM!!!

@BucketlistBob ...that truth is right out there in the open...in this case, ‘stand your ground’ is appropriate!

@BucketlistBob That's a lot of animosity over a silver tray.

@Freedompath you don't get it do you. Mom can start some shit and dad cant?

@BucketlistBob I really wouldn't know. Believe it or not my dad has been out of the picture since I was six.

@BucketlistBob not where I come from! I see I didn’t get it.,,this is getting harder and harder! Smiley faces...?
