Things I've said to my mother, and her replies:

After just having seen The Goonies, age 8.

ME: Would it be alright if I wanted to be in a movie, even if I had to swear?

MOM: Hahahahha...yes.

Rhetorically, over dinner, age 11.

ME: Mom, would you still love me even if I could fly?

MOM: Of course.

ME: Good.

MOM: Why...? Can you fly?

In a few days, age 28.

ME: Mom, can I have some money?

MOM: More?
