Happy mothers day Joke...

Three sons left

home, went out on

their own and

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 Mercedes

with a driver."

The third smiled

and said, "I've got

you, both beat. You know how Mom

enjoys the Bible,

and you know she

can't see very well.

I sent her a brown

parrot that can recite the entire

Bible. It took 20

monks in a

monastery 12 years

to teach him. I had

to pledge to contribute $

100,000.00 a year

for 10 years, but it

was worth it. Mom

just has to name

the chapter and verse, and the

parrot will recite it."

Soon thereafter,

Mom sent out her

letters of thanks:

"Milton," she wrote the first son, "The

house you built is

so huge. I live in

only one room, but I

have to clean the

whole house."

"Marvin," she wrote

to another, "I am

too old to travel. I

stay home all the

time, so I never use

the Mercedes. And the driver is so

rude!"

"Dearest Melvin,"

she wrote to her

third son, "You

were the only son to have the good

sense to know

what your mother

likes. That chicken

was delicious."
