ITALIAN MOTHER
Mrs. Botchagalupe comes to visit her son Anthony for dinner.
Anthony lives with a female roommate, Maria.
During the course of the meal, Mama can't help but notice how
pretty Anthony's roommate is. She had long been suspicious of the
relationship between the two, and this made her more curious.
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
meets the eye. Reading his Mom's thoughts, Anthony volunteered, "I know
what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Mama, 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 e-mail her, just to be sure." So he
sends his Mom an email:
Dearest Mama,
I'm not saying that you took the sugar bowl from my house, and
I'm not saying that you didn't take it, I'm just saying that it has been
missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love,
Anthony
Several days later, Anthony receives an email response from his
Mama
Figlio mio,
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 Mother
