Me:  Mommy, Mommy!  I love you more than sunshine.

Mom:  I love you more than cupcakes, my dear.

Me:  Aaawww…  There is this $150K BMW I really like, but I can’t really afford it.  It’s my company’s fault.  They don’t pay me enough.

Mom:  Good riddance!  They work you to the bones, my honey bun.

Me:  I know…  So I have been thinking if you could loan me the money.  I’ll pay you back, of course.

Mom:  Stop that nonsense this instant!  My poor child.  (Opening her purse…)  Here is $150K + $25.  Now, you go buy the car you like and get yourself some snacks afterwards.  You know, buying a car can be extremely exhausting and tormenting.

Me:  Thanks, Mom.  I love you more than chocolate ice cream.

Mom:  I love you more than Rusty Joiner.  Well, maybe not.
