The Best Gift

Once again, I would like to share an email from my friend Charry. Here it goes..

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts that they were able to give to 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 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 twenty monks in a monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty 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.

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

She wrote to the second son, " Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home all the time, so I never used the Mercedes.....and the driver is SO rude.

She wrote to the third son, " Dearest Melvin, You were the only son to have the good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was delicious."

If you fell down laughing, then you probably enjoyed the story as much as I did. I will be sharing more of her and my other friends' funny emails.

And it's weekend again! Time flies so fast. Tomorrow it's Christmas once again.
