A psychologist was conducting a group therapy session with five young
mothers and their small children. "You all have obsessions," he
observed. To the first mother, Mary, he said: "You are obsessed with
sugar . You've
even named your daughters Honey and Candy." He turned to the second
Mum, Ann: "Your obsession is with money. It
manifests itself in your children's names, Penny, Goldie, Bob and Buck
. He turned to the third Mum, Joyce: "Your obsession is alcohol. This
too
shows itself in your children's names: Brandy and Sherry. You even
called the cat, "Whiskey". He then turned to the fourth Mum June:
"Your obsession is with flowers. Your girls are , Rose, Daphne &
Poppy." At this point, the fifth mother, Kathy, quietly got up, took
her little boy
by the hand and whispered: "Come on, Dick, this guy has no idea what he's
talking about. Let's pick up Fanny and Willy and go home."
