I Love Bounty Bars

In my family, we regularly say "I love you more than a thousand salmon" and "I love you to the moon and back" and "I love you a google." So the other night, in this vein, I said to my husband, "I love you more than I love Bounty Bars."

"I didn't know you even liked Bounty Bars," he said.

"I LOVE Bounty Bars!" I replied. "In fact, the restaurant next door to the Library has them sometimes, and when I'm having a bad day I run next door looking specifically for a Bounty Bar, because Bounty Bars always make me feel better. Actually, they had a bunch of Bounty Bars next door once, and actually I've never seen them there again, but I keep looking.....I suppose I could walk a block and get a Bounty Bar when I really need one, from the pharmacy, but I never do..."

"Okay." he says. "You're telling me that you love me more than a chocolate bar that you can't bother to walk a block out of your way to get?"

"Um," I said. "I love you a lot," I said.
