Three brothers are buying their mum birthday presents

Three successful brothers are all buying their elderly mother birthday presents.

The oldest, looking to be the best, buys her a new house. He takes her to it and she is really surprised and extremely grateful. She says to her son, "I absolutely love the house but I think it's too much for me. I won't be able to clean these high ceilings and these stairs are hard for me to get up, but thank you anyway". Disgruntled, he puts it back on the market.

The middle son thinks she should have some excitement in her life, so he buys her a new sports car. He brings it to her and she has a smile on her face. She says, "I really love this car but it's too fast for me. I can barely see the road and I hardly drive anymore, but thank you anyway". Disappointed, he keeps it for himself.

The youngest son realises that she is all alone and decides to get her a talking parrot so she'll have some company. He arranges it to be delivered to her house a few days before they all go there for dinner.

When the brothers turn up, they all sit down for a lovely meal and discuss their gifts. The youngest looks around and cannot see his gift. He asks his mother, "Mum, what did you think of the parrot?".


"My dear, it was absolutely delicious, wouldn't you agree?"
