It seems that a young couple had just got married and
spent their first wedding night with the young man's
parents. In the morning, his mother got up and prepared
a lovely breakfast including freshly cut flowers from
her garden and gourmet food.
She went to the bottom
the stairs and called everyone to come down to breakfast.
Everyone came down, except the newly-weds. After a long
wait, the family ate without them.
The mother said, "I wonder why they never came down
to eat?"
The groom's young brother said, "Mommy, I think..."
"Oh, shut up. I don't want to hear what you think!" said
the mother, not wanting to hear any inappropriate comments
from the eight-year-old.
At lunch time, the mother again prepared a wonderful spread
and again called the young couple to eat. Five minutes
went by and she called again. After another long wait,
the family proceeded to eat.
As she was cleaning the table, mother once again said, "I
wonder why they never came down to eat? Once again, the
younger brother started to speak, but mother immediately
shut him up.
At dinner the same thing happened. After the meal, mother
once again questioned why they had not come down to eat
all day.
The young lad once again said, "Mommy I think..."
"Well, what is it that you think?" asked the
mother rather testily.
"I think that when my big brother came down to get
the Vaseline last night, he got my model airplane glue
instead!"
