Dad: “I’m looking at your budget here, and I see one big expense that is not truly necessary. The dog.”
Lindsay: “I could never get rid of him! He’s a dog, not a designer purse!”
Dad: “We’re being realistic here. You need to make sacrifices.”
Lindsay: “I’d rather sever my right leg!”
Dad: “Your right leg isn’t costing you anything.”
Lindsay: “But he’s my best friend!”
Dad: “Your best friend is very expensive. And he’s going to die in ten years.”
Lindsay: Horror. Silence.
