[Guest guest]

Hester invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the

meal, 's mother couldn't help but keep noticing how beautiful

's roommate, , was. Mrs. Hester had long been suspicious of

a relationship between and , and this had only made her

more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two

react, Mrs. Hester started to wonder if there was more between and

, than met the eye.

Reading his mom's thoughts, volunteered, " I know what you must be

thinking, but I assure you and I are just roommates. "

About a week later, came to 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? " said, " Well, I

doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure. "

So he sat down and wrote:

Dear Mother,

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 ever since you were here for dinner.

Love, "

Several days later, received a letter from his mother that read:

Dear Son,

I'm not saying that you " do " sleep with , and I'm not

saying that you " do not " sleep with . But the fact

remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would

have found the gravy ladle by now. "

Love, Mom
