A DIALOGUE FROM A TUESDAY NIGHT

This dialogue was recorded after dinner in my household, as I was preparing to leave for a movie.

me: *running down the stairs and into the kitchen*
Who wants to prove their love to me?

mom: I can't afford to prove my love to you. I'm broke.

me: just five dollars worth of love.

dad: I thought you had a job.

me: I know, but I'm saving up to be a better person.

dad: all I have is four dollars
*deposits change in my hand*

me: thanks dad. Oh but mom, I don't want you to feel left out.

mom: don't worry. I feel fine.

me: no, really mom. It's okay. I want you to be able to reach me with your love as well.
*fumbles through her wallet in the other room, grabbing a five.
THANKS. BYE.

Exuent me with nine dollars of love
