Real story about real people in Mizzou:
Bryan was my friend's roomate who moved out of their apartment because he only had 1 semseter left, and didn't want to sign a year-long lease.
Quote:
Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but keep noticing how beautiful Brian's roommate, Stephanie, was. Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of a relationship between Brian and Stephanie, and this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two react, she started to wonder if there was more between Brian and Stephanie than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Stephanie and I are just roommates."
About a week later, Stephanie came to Brian saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?"
Brian said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure."
So he sat down and wrote:
Dear Mom:
I'm not saying that you "did" take the gravy ladle from the house, I'm not saying that you "did not" take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love, Brian
Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read:
Dear Son:
I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Stephanie, I'm not saying that you "do not" sleep with Stephanie. But the fact remains that if Stephanie is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.
Love, Mom
Moral of the story: Be sure to look for the ladle before you go asking embarassing questions.
Or just don't lie to your folks. They can be smarter than they look.

This doesn't sound right. Go back to like freshman highschool english. It is written in 3rd person unlimited(??). If it was your friend it would prolly be written in 3rd person limited or first person (not sure if these are the correct names).
Basically what I am saying is how would you (or Brian for that matter) know exactly what his mom was thinking.

Then after the mom leaves, we still find out what happened at the house between Brian and Stephanie.
Just a thought. Can any english majors out there back this up, or am I FOS?
