Your Mother
Having been
married twenty-five years, a couple decided to celebrate by taking a trip. While talking
over their plans one evening, the husband now and then glanced into the next room where a
little old lady sat knitting.
“The only thing,” he finally said in a hushed voice,
“is that for

mother.”
“My mother!” exclaimed
the wife,
“I thought
she was your mother!”
