Toby phones his mother on Mother’s Day.
‘Happy Mother’s Day! How are you?’ he asks.
‘Not too good,’ answers Toby’s mother, ‘I’ve been very weak.’
Toby, concerned asks, ‘Why are you so weak, mother?’
She says, ‘Because I haven’t eaten in 23 days’
Toby stammers, ‘That’s terrible. Why haven’t you eaten in 23 days?’
His mother replies, ‘Because I didn’t want my mouth to be full of food if you should phone.’
A small boy, Alex, is sent to bed by his mother…
