As Joseph was growing up he has wondered … sometimes… just how I knew certain things. I never revealed my secrets! As a Mom you just ‘know’ certain things and have enough life experience to figure out the rest. Yes, he did figure some things out as time went by and he got older … but until he has a child of his own … my secrets are mine!
I could NOT resist sharing this here because you mom’s out there will totally get it and remember the many times that you got the point across without a confrontation. Game Over!
Enjoy!

HAVING MOM OVER FOR DINNER
Ben invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Ben’s mother couldn’t help but notice how beautiful Ben’s roommate, Jennifer, was. Ben’s Mom had long been suspicious of the platonic relationship between Ben and Jennifer, and this had only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Ben and Jennifer than met the eye.
Reading his mom’s thoughts, Ben volunteered, ‘I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Jennifer and I are just roommates.’
About a week later, Jennifer came to Ben saying, ‘Ever since your mother came to dinner, I’ve been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don’t suppose she took it, do you?’
Ben said, ‘Well, I doubt it, but I’ll send her an e-mail just to be sure. So he sat down and wrote:
Dear Mom,
I’m not saying that you ‘did’ take the gravy ladle from the house, I’m not saying that you ‘did not’ take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing over since you were here for dinner.
Love, Ben
Several days later, Ben received an email back from his mother that read:
Dear Son,
I’m not saying that you ‘do’ sleep with Jennifer, and I’m not saying that you ‘do not’ sleep with Jennifer. But the fact remains that if Jennifer is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.
Love, Mom
