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!
