Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but notice how beautiful Brian's roommate, Jennifer, was. Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of a relationship between Brian and Jennifer, and this had 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 Brian and Jennifer than met the eye.
Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, 'I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Jennifer and I are just roommates.'
About a week later, Jennifer came to Brian 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?'
Brian said, 'Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure. So he sat down and wrote:
______________________________________________________________________
Dear Mom,
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the gravy ladle from the house,
I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the gravy ladle.
But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Brian

Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read :
_____________________________________________________________________
Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Jennifer,
I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Jennifer.
But the fact remains that if Jennifer is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.
Love, Mom ;-)

Mine doesn't request it. We just all know it's best. I'm the youngest of four and it seems I got away with the most and craziest - I suspect the others just sufficiently wore her down for me.

Ha! I don't think my parents realized how good they had it with my older brother and I until our baby brother came of age... In hindsight, they might've appreciated a few practice runs to warm up on... ROFL!

There were a couple instances where she was being overprotective and I made the mistake of mentioning some past adventures for comparison - totally backfired!
Younger sibs never appreciate all the work we older sibs put into breaking in the parental units. :roll:

So, based upon our knowledge, do you think you'll be a wiser parent? Or, do the antics change with each generation?
