Reading his mom's thought, his son volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, we are just flat mates." The following day, his flat mate came to him saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver plate. You don't suppose your mother took it, do you?
