A woman went away for the weekend to visit her son. He lived with a female roommate.
When she arrived they all sat down for a nice dinner together. During the course of the meal, the woman couldn't help but notice how pretty her son's roommate was.
She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and this had only made her more curious.
Throughout the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between her son and his roommate than he was letting on.
Reading his mum's thoughts, the son exclaimed: "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, we are just roommates".
About a week later, the roommate went to the young man and asked: "Ever since your mother came to dinner I've been unable to find the silver plate. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"
"Well I doubt it, but I'll message her just to be sure," he replied.
He wrote to his mother: "I'm not saying you did take the silver plate from my house, I'm not saying that you didn't take it, but the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner"
He received a reply from his mother which read: "I'm not saying that you do sleep with your roommate, and I'm not saying that you don't sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the silver plate by now, under the pillow".
