Sam Pinkham

Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Pete and his flatmate than met the eye.

Reading his mum's thoughts, Pete volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Simon & I are just flatmates".

About a week later, Simon came to Pete saying, "Ever since your mum came to dinner, I've been unable to find the frying pan, you don't suppose she took it do you?" "Well I doubt it, but I'll e-mail her just to be sure" said Pete.

So he sat down and wrote: 

DEAR Mum,

I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU "DID" TAKE THE FRYING PAN FROM MY HOUSE, I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU "DID NOT" TAKE THE FRYING PAN BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IT HAS BEEN MISSING EVER SINCE YOU WERE HERE FOR DINNER.

LOVE PETE

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

DEAR SON,

I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU "DO" SLEEP WITH SIMON, AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT YOU DO NOT"...... BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT IF HE WAS SLEEPING IN HIS OWN BED, HE WOULD HAVE FOUND THE BLOODY FRYING PAN BY NOW!

LOVE MUM

Lesson of the day:-

NEVER LIE TO YOUR MOTHER!
