Clever mum!
A young lad goes off to university and, after a while, moves into a flat with a roommate.
His mother comes to visit one day for Sunday dinner and is shocked to find that the roommate is not another bloke but a young, stunningly beautiful woman. The son assures her, though, that despite that, they’re just friends. Barely that in fact - they get along, share the rent and chores and study.
During dinner, Mother admires an item the lad has picked up for the kitchen: a lovely antique silver serving ladle with charming decorations. The young man explains he picked it up in an antique store because it reminded him of home.
Well, dinner was a great success, and Mother went home satisfied. After a while, though, the lad realized he could not find the ladle anywhere—not in the kitchen or the dining room. He was aghast—his own mother stole from him?
He sent a note to his mum, not actually accusing her but inquiring about where the ladle went. The note ended: 'I’m not saying you took it, and I’m not saying you didn’t, but if it was to be returned, nothing more would be said.'
Mother’s return note was prompt: 'I’m not saying you are sleeping with her, and I’m not saying you’re not, but if she were sleeping in her own bed, she’d have found the ladle.'
