Mr. Tax Guy says we can’t claim Daughter as a dependent for this year because of her assistantship which starts in August. She is now officially a big sucking drain on the family finances and I told her so. In a loving way, of course.
Her response? Don’t think of me as a dependent. Think of me as an investment.
Sweetie, you are working towards a PhD in English Lit. Issue us a share of stock and I’ll file it with our one share of Air Florida stock in the WE WILL NEVER RETIRE file. Love, Mom

I’d issue you a share, but I’d have to print it out on your printer. With your ink. And your paper.
Alternatively, I could write it on a sticky note and leave it on your desk.
Or you could STOP HARASSING ME since I will be CHOOSING YOUR NURSING HOME, WOMAN.

Do you have sticky notes of your own or would that be mine, too?

Could go either way. You’ve got to ask yourself one question. ‘Do I feel lucky?’
Well, do ya, Mom?

Hi Tina, Chris the guy who created Zoomii here. I had trouble replying to your email at info@thebiggertheyget.com Your email provider seemed to think I was writing you spam.
Could you send me another email address? Thanks.

The comments between the two of you were as funny as the post!
If I were you, I’d sign on as her book agent now, for a higher-than-average cut.
