CANDLESTICK

I didn’t know what a candlestick was – until Mom’s candlesticks went missing.

The prime suspect? Mom’s cleaning lady.

Mom brought it up again during Christmas dinner. Even though the candlesticks went missing 22 years ago.

But when I say they probably got lost, Mom still yells: “That AND a milk pitcher was missing! Someone was taking them.”

My question is, if you’re going to steal, why not steal something better than a candlestick?

But this Christmas, Mom revealed that it probably wasn’t the cleaning lady. It was the cleaning lady’s FRIEND.

MOM: “She asked if she could bring a friend to the house while she cleaned. I said yes. Never let anyone working at your house bring friends – because THOSE are the ones that steal.”

Call me — if you’re driving in your neighborhood, and you notice someone lighting candles while pouring milk.

    My mum was trying to find my old Polaroid pictures, I am about 6 on them. Obviously, she did not find anything because we lost them when we were moving like 5 years ago… The best part is that she started blaming my best friend of stealing the pictures… I was shocked. I asked her why she thinks so… and she said: She just took them because she was curious and after going through them she threw them away… The craziest thing I have ever heard from my mum… I dont even think my best friend knows that I have any Polaroid pictures of me.

    Seriously… WTF?:)))

    This has my mother all over it. My neice had a saddle in the basement at my moms. It turned up missing after my brother and his wife went to clean the basement one time. (they have tons of horses) but my mother blamed my son (who is allergic to horses) because his friend had a horse several years ago. Come on does this not have my brother and his wife written all over it??? Nope she swears to this day it was my son. Who did not live there, who never went to visit her and did not know she had the saddle. Not her son whose wife needed another saddle.
