Three sons left home, went out into the business world and all prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly mother.

The first said, "I built a big house for our mother."

The second said, "I sent her a Lexus with a driver."

The third smiled and said, "I've got you both beat. You know how much Mom enjoys reading the Bible? And you know she can't see very well.

So I sent her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. It took the Shammes in the shul 12 years to teach him. He's one of a kind. Mama just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot recites it."

Soon thereafter, mom sent out her letters of thanks:

"Milton," she wrote one son, "The house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to clean the whole house."

"Gerald," she wrote to another, "I am too old to travel. I stay most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And the driver is so RUDE!"

"Dearest Donald," she wrote to her third son, "You have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was absolutely delicious!"


A mind is a terrible thing to waste. A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

Those brothers did not consult their mom..........You know, that could be a metaphor for how we live, sometimes.

Your funny!!! She's get's it's, get's it, get's it ...

Mom's always seem to know when their chicks get way too plucky! Keeping it simple...
