When we get older and move out on our own, we often feel that our lives are now private and our parents don’t have the right to know our secrets.
This may be true to a certain extent, but it is also true that moms are moms, and they are going to do what they can to do to figure out any secrets we are keeping. The problem is, they are good at it.
We see something like this happening in the following joke. A man says there is nothing going on between him and his roommate, but she decided to get to the bottom of it. Enjoy the chuckle.
Steve invites his mother over for dinner.
During the dinner, his mother can’t help but notice that Steve’s roommate Peter is very tall and handsome.
She had long suspected that the two of them were more than roommates, so she asked her son if they were a couple.
But Steve denies it, and reassures his mother that they’re just roommates and nothing more.
A week later, Peter tells Steve:
“Do you know where the nice silver soup ladle is? It’s been missing since your mom was over for dinner. You don’t think she’s taken it, do you?”
Steve didn’t think so, but to be sure he sent his mother an email;
“Dear Mom, I’m not saying that you ‘stole’ or ‘didn’t steal’ our soup ladle, but it’s been gone ever since you were over for dinner. Love, Steve”
A few days later he gets a reply from his mother:
“Dear Steve, I’m not saying that you’re ‘sleeping’ or ‘not sleeping’ with Peter, but if he had slept in his own bed, then he would have found the soup ladle a long time ago. Love, Mom”
Words of wisdom for the day: DON’T LIE TO YOUR MOM!
