Never lie to your Italian Mamma

[Gugi47]

ITALIAN MOTHER

Mrs. Baccitanto comes to visit her son Anthony for dinner. Anthony lives
with a female roommate, Maria.
During the course of the meal, Mamma can't help but notice how pretty
Anthony's roommate is.
She had long been suspicious of the relationship between the two, and this
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 his roommate than
meets the eye.

Reading his Mom's thoughts, Anthony volunteered, "I know what you must be
thinking, but I assure you, Mamma, Maria and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Maria comes 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 e-mail her, just to be sure." So he sends his
Mom an email:


"Cara Mamma, I'm not saying that you took the sugar bowl from my house, and
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.

Love,
Anthony"


Several days later, Anthony receives an email response from his Mamma.
"Figlio mio, 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
were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the sugar bowl by now.

Love, Mamma"
