Mom comes to visit her son Okonkwo for dinner. He lives with a female roommate Ada. During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Okonkwo's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship 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 Okonkwo and his roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Okonkwo volunteered, “I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Ada and I are just roommates."
About a week later, Ada came to Okonkwo saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, i've been unable to find the small bag of Garri. You don't suppose she took it, do you?”
“Well, I doubt it, but i'll email her, just to be sure" said, Okonkwo.
So he sat down and wrote:
Dear Mother,
I'm not saying that you did take the bag of Garri from my house, and i'm not saying that you did not take it either. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. Do you know what became of the Garri?
Love,
Okonkwo.
Several days later, Okonkwo received an email from his Mother, which read:
My dear Son,
I'm not saying that you do sleep with Ada, and i'm not saying that you do not sleep with her. But the fact remains that if she had been sleeping on her OWN bed, she would have found the bag of Garri under her pillow by now. Do you know where she has been sleeping?
Love,
Mum.
