“Mom, remember that kid I told you about who was getting a puppy?”

“Yep.”

“Well, she’s getting two puppies. A brother and sister.”

“Wow. She’s gonna have her hands full.”

“Yea. I told her there’s no way she’s gonna have enough love for two of `em. I know how much I love Duncan and there’s no way I’d be able to love another puppy that much. [Pause] Maybe when one puppy’s in the room she’ll be fine because she won’t have to love the other puppy — because it’s not there— but if they’re in the room at the same time there’s no way she’s gonna to be able love them both. No way.”

“Really? Do you think when you’re brother’s not in the room I have more love to give to you?”

“Yep.”

“So then where do you think love comes from?”

[Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong pause]

“Can I wear my Under Armour shirt to baseball tonight.”

[Sigh]

“Sure.”
