Four brothers left home for University, and they became successful doctors
and lawyers.

One evening, they chatted after having dinner together. They discussed the
80th birthday gifts they were able to give their elderly mother who had moved
to the seaside ..

The first said, "You know I had a big house built for Mum."

The second said, “And I had a large cinema built in the house."

The third said, "And I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her."

The fourth said, "You know how Mum loved reading the Bible and you know
she can't read anymore because she can't see very well. I met this
vicar who told me about a parrot who could recite the entire Bible. It took
ten vicars almost 8 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute
£50,000 a year for five years to the church, but it was worth it. Mum only
has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it."

The other brothers were impressed. After the celebration Mum sent out
her “Thank You” notes.

She wrote: “George , the house you built is so huge that I live in only one
room, but I have to clean the whole house.. Thanks anyway."

"John, I am too old to travel. I stay at home; I have my groceries
delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks."

"Michael, you gave me an expensive cinema room with Dolby sound and it can
hold 50 people, but all of my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing, and I’m
nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the same."

"Dearest Sidkid, you were the only son to have the good sense to give a little
thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you so much."

Love,
Mum
