Mama's favorite gift

Four brothers left home for college. They became successful doctors
and lawyers and prospered. Some years later, they chatted after having
dinner together. They discussed the gifts that they were able to give
to their elderly mother who lived faraway in another city.

The first said, "I had a big house built for Mama."

"The second said, "I had a hundred thousand dollar theater built in
the house"

The third said, "I had my Mercedes dealer deliver her an SL600 with a
chauffeur."

The fourth said, "Listen to this. You know how Mama loved reading the
Scriptures. And you know, too,she can't read anymore because she can't
see very well. I met this Priest who told me about a parrot that can
recite the entire Bible. It took twenty priests twelve years to teach
him. I had to pledge to contribute $100,000 a year for twenty years to
the church. Let me tell you..it was worth it. All Mama has to do is
name a chapter and verse and the parrot will recite it."

The other brothers were impressed.

After the holidays Mama sent out her Thank You notes. She wrote:

Milton,

The house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but I have to
clean the whole house.

Thanks anyway.

Manny,

You gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound, it could hold 50
people, but all my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing and I'm
nearly blind. I'll never use it.

Thank you for the gesture just the same.

Marvin,

I am too old to travel. I stay home, I have my groceries delivered, so
I never use the Mercedes...and the driver you hired is a Democrat.

The thought was good.

Thanks.

Dearest Melvin,

You were the only son to have the good sense to give a little thought
to your gift. The chicken was delicious.

Thank you,

Mama

Oh, no! That's awful! She ate that wonderful present. Well, at least she appreciated it in a different way than what was intended. She wouldn't have been able to hear the bird recite the scriptures, anyway.
Very cute. lol
