May you always be blessed!
Three Jamaican sons left home, went out on their own and
prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they
were able to give to their elderly mother:
The first son said, "Mi bill a big house wid land an gi
mama."
The second son said, "Mi sen har a cris Benz wid a driver"
The third smiled and said, "Mi beat di 2 a unnu. Yuh memba
how Mama use to love fi read har Bible? An yuh know seh she cyaan
see too good.
Mi sen har a Church parrot dat recite di entire Bible. It
tek di elders inna di church 15 years fi teach im. Im exclusive man. Mama jus

Soon thereafter, Mother sent out her letters of thanks:
"Milton," she wrote one son, "A weh duh yuh bwoy, a chupid yuh
chupid suh.
Di house yuh bill too big. A mi one live inna one room, but mi

"Dearest Delroy," she wrote to her third son, "you have the
good sense fi know what your mother likes. The chicken was
delicious."
