three sons left the mountains to make their fortunes, and they all did very well for themselves. they got together recently and were discussing what they each had done to benefit their elderly mother
'well,’ said Cletus, ‘I bought mom a huge house in Beverly hills.'
'you think that’s impressive. I bought mom a stretch rolls Royce and hired her a full time driver.' snorted Luther
'I’ve got you both beat,’ smiled Jim bob. 'I bought mom a miraculous parrot that can recite any bible verse you tell it to.'
a little later, the mother sent out a thank you note to all three sons. it read: 'Cletus, the house you bought was too big. I only live in one room, but have to clean the entire house. Luther, the car is useless. I don’t go anywhere because I’m too old, and have seen it all before. but Jim bob, you know exactly what I like. that chicken you got me, it was purely delicious.'
