Three mothers were sitting around comparing notes on their exemplary offspring.
"There never was a daughter more devoted than my Judy," said Mrs. Levine fondly. "Every summer she takes me to the Catskills for a week, and every winter we spend a week at Delray Beach."
"That's nothing compared to what my Lois does for me," declared Mrs. Stein proudly. "Every winter she treats me to two weeks in Miami, and in the summer, two weeks in the Hamptons in my own private guest house."
Mrs. Lipkin sat back with a knowing smile. "Nobody loves her mother like my Patty does," she said. "Nobody."
"So what does she do?" asked the two women, turning to her.
Mrs. Lipkin answered, "Three times a week she gets into a cab, goes to the best psychiatrist in the city, and pays him a hundred and fifty dollars an hour - just to talk about me!"
