Italian Mothers
Mrs Deluca comes to visit her son, Anthony, for dinner. He lives with a female roommate, Maria.
During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Anthony's roommate is.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started
to wonder if there was more between Anthony and his roommate than met
the eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts, Anthony volunteered, "I know what you must
be thinking, but I assure you, Maria and I are just roommates.''
About a week later, Maria came to Anthony saying, "Ever since your mother
came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don't suppose
she took it, do you?"
"Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure."So he sat down and wrote an email:
Dear Mama,
I'm not saying that you "did" take the sugar bowl from my house; I'm not
saying that you "did not" take it, but the fact remains that it has been
missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love,
Anthony
Several days later, Anthony received a response email from his Mama which read:
Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Maria and I'm not saying that you
do not" sleep with her, but the fact remains that if she was sleeping in
her OWN bed, she would have found the sugar bowl by now.
Love, Mama
Moral: Never lie to your Mama
