A Humorous Look at Cohabitation

May 7, 2010

Here’s a little lesson I just came across that is very appropriate for Buzz readers with older children.

Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Brian’s mother couldn’t help but notice how beautiful Brian’s roommate, Sara was.  Brian’s Mom had long been suspicious of the platonic relationship between Brian and Sara, 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 Brian and Sara than met the eye.  Reading his mom’s thoughts, Brian volunteered, “‘I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Sara and I are just roommates.”

About a week later, Sara came to Brian 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?”   Brian said, “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 ever since you were here for dinner.  Love,  Brian”

Several days later, Brian received an email back from  his mother that read: “Dear Son:  I’m not saying that you ‘do’ sleep with Sara, I’m not saying that you ‘do not’ sleep with Sara. But the fact remains that if Sara was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.”

Love,  Mom
