John invited his mother over for dinner one evening.

During the meal, she couldn’t help but notice how attractive his roommate Judy was.

She had been suspicious of a relationship between her son and his roommate for quite some time, but this only made her more curious.

She watched the two of them interact over the course of the evening and began to wonder whether there was more between John and Judy than met the eye.

Realizing only too well what his mother was thinking, John said, "I can see your wheels turning Mom and I know what you’re thinking. Rest assured Judy and I are strictly roommates."

A few days later, Judy went to John and said, "You know the beautiful silver gravy ladle? Well, ever since your mother came to dinner I can’t seem to find it. You don’t think she would have taken it, do you?"

"I doubt it, but I’ll write her a letter just to be sure," replied John.

John then sat down and wrote his mother the following letter:

"Dear Mom,

While I’m not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I’m not saying you 'didn’t' take a gravy ladle, the fact remains that ever since you were here for dinner one has been missing.

Love, Your son."

Several days later, John received a reply from his mother which read:

"Dear John,

While I am not saying you 'do' sleep with Judy, and I’m not saying you 'don’t' sleep with her, the fact remains that she would have found the gravy ladle by now if she were sleeping in her own bed.

Love, Mom."

Good one. But Judy might have a boyfriend that she stays with.

Hmmm - Ya think mom will buy that one ??
With the speed of mail these days, it'd take 3+ days for Johns letter to get to mom.
And Judy obviously didn't find the ladel that night after dinner - so - what? She slept on the couch?
And as it was after dinner - unlikely she'd have left to spend the rest of the night with her outside boyfriend.
I think Mom has them nailed dead to rights, or to the bedposts that is

Funny

But then again what ever they were doing was none of her business!!!
My philosophy raising my Daughters was the same after they were on their own, I only became involved when they ask me for advise or help!!!

Such a simple solution. I've seen similar situations in movies.

You can fool your parents some of the time, but mom always knows! Tell her the truth or you will be sorry!!

This was funny. I have a rather old book of Jewish humor and this same story with different names is in it.
