I've amended two words, but I don't think they really mattered.
The story is that the Mum suspects the son is gay, but he has never told her.
When she leaves, she puts a valuable item in the bed her son supposedly sleeps in. Her suspicions are confirmed when he does not discover them - ie that he is sleeping in the double bed in the other room, with the person he claims just to be a flatmate ("roomie" I think you'd say).
It's not supposed to be funny. Just a tale of how a wily mother gets her son to admit something he was previously scared to do.
ETA - Griff got there first.
