NEVER LIE TO YOUR MOTHER!

Peter invited his mother for dinner. During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how lovely Peter's flatmate, Joanne 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 Peter and his flatmate than met the eye. Reading his mum's thoughts, Peter volunteered, “I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Joanne & I are just flatmates”.

About a week later, Joanne came to Peter saying, “Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find our TEFAL frypan, you don't suppose she took it, do you?” “Well I doubt it, but I'll e-mail her just to be sure” said Peter.

So he sat down and wrote:

DEAR MOTHER,

I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DID' TAKE OUR TEFAL FRYPAN FROM MY HOUSE AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DID NOT' TAKE OUR TEFAL FRYPAN BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IT HAS BEEN MISSING EVER SINCE YOU WERE HERE FOR DINNER.

LOVE PETER

Several days later, Peter received an email from his mother which read:

DEAR SON,

I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DO' SLEEP WITH JOANNE, AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU 'DO NOT' SLEEP WITH JOANNE, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IF SHE WAS SLEEPING IN HER OWN BED, SHE WOULD HAVE FOUND YOUR TEFAL FRYPAN BY NOW.

LOVE MUM
