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.”

Either way, at least he made mom happy.
Yes, he did make mom happy. ☺
Haha! Oh that is funny! That was one expensive chicken 🙂

Wow, that mother was very lucky to have three caring sons but not very intelligent.
Have a caring Tuesday Sandee & Zane. See ya.

Funny! But he did his mom happy!
He did indeed. ☺
ROFL. And here I was expecting the parrot to be rude not the driver. Got me with this one
You're not an easy one to get something over on either. ☺
Heeheehee! Why didn't the parrot object?
Perhaps since it wasn't in the Bible then he didn't know. ☺
Hahaha! I didn't see that one coming.

This really cracked me up Sandee. We had chicken for dinner tonight. I wonder if….
No, I'm sure you had chicken. Michelle wouldn't do that to you. 🙂
