Tom invited his mom over 4 dinner. He lives with a pretty female roommate, Ann. While mom was watching the 2 interact, she started 2 wonder if there was more tween Tom & Ann than met the eye. Reading his mom’s thoughts, T. volunteered, “I know what you must be thinking, but I assure u, Ann & I are just roommates.” A wk later, Ann came 2 Tom saying, “Ever since ur mother came 2 dinner, I’ve been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don’t suppose she took it, do u?” “I doubt it, but I’ll email her, just 2 b sure. ” He wrote an email: ‘Dear Mom, I’m not saying that u “did” take the sugar bowl; I’m not saying that u “did not” take it. The fact remains that it has been missing ever since u were here. Love, T’ Tom rec’d a response email fr his Mom which read: ‘Dear son, I’m not sayin that you “do” sleep with Ann, & I’m not sayin that u “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, Mom’.
