Your mother must be very rich (02.03.09)

One day I was walking to the beach to Lamu when I met a local women who started talking to me. Somehow we eventually got around to talking about families and the inevitable came up. At first she didn't believe my answer, but after going through the names she was finally convinced, and added another interesting response to the growing list.

She said to me, "Your mother must be very rich, because your parents must have paid out a lot of money for you when you were growing up, so now you must all give her money. From so many children she must be very rich"

I could only think how my mother would laugh at that, and then probably say something appropriate like, "Yes, rich in experience"
