Dear Son
A young man called Colin invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how handsome Colin's flatmate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this 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 Colin and his flatmate than met the
eye.
Reading his Mum's thoughts, Colin volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Gary and I are just flatmates."
About a week later, Gary came to Colin 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?" "Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her
just to be sure.",said Colin. So he sat down and wrote:
Dear Mother,
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the gravy ladle from my house, I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the gravy ladle,but the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Colin
Several days later Colin received an email from his Mother which read:
Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Gary, and I'm not saying
that you 'do not' sleep with Gary, but the fact remains that if he was
sleeping in his own bed he would have found the gravy ladle by now.
Love, Mum
