Honeymoon at Home

"Honeymoon at Home"*

*A young couple had just been married and they spent their
wedding night with the young man's parents.

In the morning, the groom's mother got up and prepared a
lovely breakfast, including freshly cut flowers from her
garden, and gourmet food. She went to the bottom of the
stairs and called everyone down to breakfast. Everyone
came down, except the newlyweds.

After a long wait, the family finally went ahead and had
breakfast without them. The mother remarked, "I wonder
why they didn't come down to eat?"

The groom's young brother said, "Mommy, I think..."

"Oh, shut up," the mother interjected. "I don't want to hear
any inappropriate comments from the eight-year-old."

At lunch time, the mother again prepared a wonderful
spread and called everyone down to breakfast. Once
again, everyone came down, except the newlyweds.

After a long wait, the family finally went ahead and had
lunch without them. The mother remarked, "I wonder why
they didn't come down to eat?"

The groom's young brother said, "Mommy, I think..."

At dinner the same thing happened again. After the meal,
the mother remarked, "I wonder why they didn't come down to eat?"

The groom's young brother 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!"
