Friday Winner & Sunday Funny!
#77, JSL! Send me an email: julie at julieleto.com with your snail mail address and I’ll get the prize out to you forthwith!
And here’s the funny…which might have just been funny to me because my mother sent it!
An Italian Mother
Mrs. Ravioli comes to visit her son Anthony for dinner… who lives with a female roommate Maria…
During the course of the meal, his mother couldn’t help but notice how pretty Anthony’s roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, 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 Anthony and roommate than met the eye.
Reading his mom’s thoughts, Anthony volunteered, “I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Maria and I are just roommates.”
About a week later, Maria came to Anthony saying, “Ever since your mother came to dinner, I’ve been unable to find the silver sugar bowl. You don’t suppose she took it, do you?”
“Well, I doubt it, but I’ll email her, just to be sure.”
So he sat down and wrote:
Dear Momma,
I’m not saying that you ‘did’ take the sugar bowl from my house; I’m not saying that you ‘did not’ take it. But the fact remains that it has been
missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Anthony
Several days later, Anthony received a response email from his Momma which read:
Dear Son,
I’m not saying that you ‘do’ sleep with Maria, and I’m not saying that you ‘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, Momma
Lesson: Never lie to your Momma… especially, if she’s Italian
Congrats JSL!! Loved the funny, Julie.

All hail the smart Mama!
I can relate so well to that … its exactly how my Irish mom would get a point across. Leave a big hint and wait for you to get it!
But then my Sicilian Nana would have just smacked you with her slipper.
Great blogs.
