Indian Mother

Mom comes to visit her son Ashdeep for dinner...who lives with a girl
roomate Jeeti... During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but
notice how pretty Ashdeep's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a
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 Ashdeep and his roommate than met the
eye.

Reading his mom's thoughts, Ashdeep volunteered, "I know what you must be
thinking, but I assure you, Jeeti and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Jeeti came to Ashdeep saying, "Ever since your mother
came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver chutney jar.
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 Mother,
I'm not saying that you 'did' take the chutney jar from my house, I'm not
saying that you did not' take the chutney jar. But the fact remains that it
has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Ashdeep

Several days later, Ashdeep received an email from his Mother which read:

Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Jeeti, and I'm not saying that you
'do not' sleep with Jeeti. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in
her own bed, she would have found the chutney jar by now.
Love, Mom
