Stephen: Nick,for Lent, why don't you give up making Mom make you homemade eggnog every morning?

Nicky: Okay, I can do that but only if I can have an ice cream milkshake for breakfast instead.

Me: I don't think so...

Stephen: Why don't you give up sleeping in Mom's bed?

Nicky: Stop it! You're making me sad. Why can't I just give up baths or something?
