The wiles of a mother.

[Sally]

John invited his mother over to his flat for dinner and during the meal his mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful John's flat mate was.

She had long been suspicious that a relationship existed between John and his flat mate but she could never find absolute proof.

Over the course of the evening as she watched the two interact she was even more positive they were more than just friends and flat mates.

John could read his mothers thinking so he said to her, " Mum, I know what you're thinking but Susan and I are nothing more than flatmates."

About a week later Susan was cooking dinner and she commented to John, " Ever since your mother came to dinner I've been unable to find the silver gravy ladel, you don't suppose she would have taken it, do you?"

John said, " I very much doubt it, but I'll send her an email and ask her if she's seen it."

So John sat down and sent this email to his mother, " I'm not saying you did or did not take our silver gravy ladel but the fact remains that ever since you were here for dinner we have been unable to find it."

A few days later his mother sent this email back, " Son, I'm not saying you are sleeping with Susan or that you aren't sleeping with her, but the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed she would have found the ladel by now."
