New baby means new car
Ronny : I can't believe we have to do this, Nancy. It's so unfair.
Nancy : Just deal with it. In 18 years you can get another sports car, but now we need something bigger and safer for our growing family.
Ronny : It's not like we're strapped for cash. Come on, honey! Why do I have to suffer for this?
Nancy : You're suffering? I'm the one carrying this baby inside of me along with an extra 10 kilos of blubber! You don't have any room to talk.
Ronny : You know how much I love this car, Nancy. I feel like I'm having my own baby taken away from me.
Nancy : Well, when this baby is born, you really won't miss yours at all, trust me.
Ronny : I guess you're right, but I really took good care of this car and kept it clean and changed the oil and made sure it never overheated.
Nancy : Sounds like you have the makings of a great dad - changing his diapers, keeping him clean checking his temperature..
Ronny : Did you say "his"? We're having a boy? I'm thrilled to bits!
Nancy : Yeah! So, don't you think we need something bigger, like a minivan? You know, to pack all of his sports equipment and his bicycle and his skateboard and his fishing rods..
Ronny : Okay, you win. Let's take this down to the dealership and see how much we can get for a trade-in.
