“Darling,” said the wife, “I’m ashamed of the way we live.
Father pays the rent for the house, Brother sends us food and
money for clothes, Uncle pays our water and electricity bills,
and our friends provide us with tickets for the theater. I’m not
complaining really, but I do think we can do better.”

“Of course, we can,” said the husband. “I’ve been thinking
about it myself lately. You’ve got a brother and two uncles who
don’t send us a cent!”
