Son: Dad, I love you very much.
Me: I love you too, son.
And then I thought I'd spread the love in my wife's direction...
Me: How much do you love your Mom?
Son: Hmm... I love her three pounds.
She started to smile while rolling her eyes when...
Son: And I love you five pounds, Dad.

And then she shot me an accusatory glance and I ducked out, quickly.
