on over-indulgence

mom: they say that they always gave their daughter whatever she wanted. isn't that what good parents do?

me: well... quite the opposite, no?

mom: ok, then don't ever ask me for anything. you know what my answer will be!

me: wait, when was the last time i asked you for something?

mom: for example... today you rang the doorbell! and did i let you in or didn't i?
