A psychiatrist was conducting a group therapy session
with four young
mothers and their small children. "You all have
obsessions," he
observed.
To the first mother, Mary, he said, "You are obsessed
with eating.
You've even named your daughter Candy.
He turned to the second Mom, Ann: "Your obsession is
with money.
Again, it manifests itself in your child's name,
Penny."
He turned to the third Mom, Joyce: "Your obsession
with alcohol.
This too shows itself in your child's name, Brandy."
At this point, the fourth mother, Kathy, quietly got
up, took her little
boy by the hand and whispered, "Come on, Dick, we're
leaving."
