Mother, Please...

[Charlotte]

Listen, you knew damn well that I was an old lady when you bought me.  You were the one who fell in love, you know.  I appreciate everything you have done for me but you cannot forget that I am old and I will cost you money.  If you don't like it go out and buy that Fiat 500 Abarth you were so hot for.  If it's about money or love, I will still cost you less than a low mileage used car, and you know that you love me.  Quit bitching about me.  I do my best for you.  Sometimes I just need for you to throw some money at me because I'm old.

Another thing...Over $200 for valves for those stupid fish of yours?  Get a life.  Those fish don't take you to work every day.  It's not like you make money on them.  Spend on those fish and you're throwing money down the hole, and you know it.  I know that your heart yearns for the oven but it doesn't matter as much as I do.  So you don't buy it for another month or two?  Big deal.  Get your priorities straight, will you?

So there...Thanks for letting me blow a bunch of anger out of my exhaust manifold.  I feel better now.
