Ten-year-old (dreamy) daughter: Guess what you bought me in my
dream?
Forty-year-old (groggy) mommy: Voyons*.... a horse!
Dreamy
Daughter: (giggles) No...
Groggy Mommy: Hmmm.... un cobaye?*
Dreamy:
(giggles) No... un collier de bonbons!
Groggy: A candy necklace? Ouf!*
That's much less expensive than a horse!
Dreamy : (giggles of
agreement)
Groggy: So, you eat bonbons during the day, silly you, and you
eat bonbons in the night now, too. Well, that must be sweet!
Dreamy: Yes, it WAS... until you woke me up for
school!
