A Pickup Mix-Up

For the first time ever since his little boy started school, the man was supposed to pick up his son and bring him home that day.

So, he left his office, drove to the school, met his son, got him in the car, and headed home.

"Honey, we're home!" he called out to his wife, who came out of the kitchen looking a bit downcast.

"We're starving, so maybe you could heat up…" he began, but his wife cut him off with words he didn't think he would ever hear.

"Your son is not actually yours," she said, serious but calm.

"What do you mean?" he asked, puzzled.

"I think you need to pay more attention while picking you son up from school!!!"

Words of Wisdom: A Family Affair

One day, a curious son asked his dad, "Hey, Dad, what's the difference between 'confident' and 'confidential?'"

His dad chuckled and said, "Alright, son. Here's how it goes: I'm confident you're my son. Our neighbor Billy is also my son. That's confidential!"

A First Outing to Remember

So, I remember the first time I took my son out for a beer. We headed to our local pub, just a couple of blocks from home.

I got him a Guinness, but he wasn't into it, so I drank it. Maybe it was too strong, so I ordered him a Worthington's. Nope, he didn't like that either, so I drank that too. I figured something lighter might do the trick, so I tried a local lager. He wasn't having it, so I ended up drinking that as well.

Maybe something sweeter? I got him a Woodpecker cider, but he wasn't a fan, so down the hatch it went.

In a last-ditch effort, I offered him a single malt. He flat-out refused it. Well, what was I supposed to do? I drank it too!

By the time I realized he just wasn't into drinking, I was so drunk I could barely push his stroller back home!

Delivery Dates

A father was ready to pass down the family business to his son. He called him into the office for a heart-to-heart chat.

"Son," he said, "there are two things you need to succeed in this business: honor and wisdom."

Curious, the son asked, "Can you give me an example of honor?"

The father nodded and replied, "Honor means if you promise a client that their shipment will be delivered by Friday, then no matter what, you make sure it happens."

The son thought about it for a moment, then asked, "And what about wisdom?"

The father leaned in closer and said, "Wisdom, my boy, is knowing never to promise Friday delivery in the first place!"

1. Daddy Knows Best... or Does He?

It all started when I decided to tell my dad that I'd fallen head over heels for Sandra, the neighbor's daughter. I mean, who wouldn't be excited? Sandra was smart, beautiful, and everything I could ever want in a girlfriend.

"Dad, I'm in love," I said, trying to hide my excitement.

"That's great, son!" my dad replied, beaming with pride. "Who's the lucky girl?"

"It's Sandra, you know, Mr. Johnson's daughter from next door."

I expected a high five or at least a "Well done, son!"

But instead, Dad's face fell. He looked like someone had just told him the price of gas went up again.

"Oh, son, I really wish you hadn't said that," Dad muttered, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Why not?" I asked, my heart sinking.

"Listen, you have to promise not to tell your mother, but Sandra is your sister."

I felt like the universe had played the cruelest joke on me.

Sandra? My sister? No way! But then again, Dad didn't seem like the kind of guy to make this up. And he would never keep me away from a girl without a real reason. Crushed, I backed off from Sandra, determined to move on.

A few months later, I found myself in the same situation. I'd met another girl, Angela, who was even more captivating than Sandra.

"Dad, I've fallen in love again," I announced.

"That's great, son! Who's the girl this time?" Dad asked, but I could see that he was just bracing himself.

"It's Angela, from the house across," I said.

And there it was again. That same look of dread. This man seemed to get around the neighborhood effortlessly.

"Son, Angela's your sister too," he said.

At this point, I was furious. It seemed that every girl I liked was somehow related to me. After the sixth time this happened, I stormed into the kitchen and confronted my mother.

"Mom, I can't date anyone because Dad says that they're all my sisters!" I wailed, part tears, part rage.

Mom, bless her lovely heart, just pulled me into a hug.

"Sweetheart, you can date whoever you want," she whispered. "He isn't your father."

2. The Case of the Missing Silver Plate

When my mom invited herself over for dinner, I could tell she was suspicious of my roommate, Jessica. We'd been living together for a while, and despite my reassurances, Mom kept throwing us these knowing glances over the roast chicken.

"Mom, seriously, Jess and I are just roommates," I insisted, hoping to put an end to her questions.

But she just smiled.

A week later, Jess came over to me with a problem.

"Liam, ever since your mom was here, I can't find the silver plate that we use for our book club cupcakes. You don't think she took it, do you?"

"No way," I said, but the idea gnawed at me. So, I decided to send Mom an email.

Dear Mom,

After your visit, Jess's silver plate has been missing. I'm not saying you took it, but I'm not saying that you didn't take it either. But the fact remains that it's missing.

Love,

Your son.

A few days later, I got her reply.

Dear Son,

I'm not saying that you're sleeping with Jessica, and I'm also not saying that you're not sleeping with her. But if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the silver plate by now, under her pillow.

Love,

Mom

That was the day I learned that mothers always know more than they let on, and I made a mental note to always check under the pillow.
