Sunday Smile - A young man called his mother and
announced excitedly that he had just met the woman of his
dreams. Now what should he do? His mother had an idea: "Why
don’t you invite her to your apartment for a home-cooked meal?"
He thought this was a great idea, and a week later, the woman
came to dinner. His mother called the next day to see how things
had gone. "I was totally humiliated," her son moaned, "she
insisted on washing the dishes." "Well, what's wrong with that?"
asked his mother. "We hadn't started eating yet."
