The Price of I Love You

I told myself I wasn't going to post this, but I cannot get it out of my mind. 
I Love You.  Hearing those three endearing words from children and Spouses can be quite expensive.
Child #2 - "Can I pleeeeaaase go to Winter Camp?  all the Scouts are going, I'll learn so much, it'll be so much fun...."
Mom - " you can go"
Child #2 - "Ooohhh Thanks Mom, I Love You"
Cost: $100
Child #3 to Mom after replacing two frogs (who were very near and dear to her heart) with two "glow in the dark" fish and one snail - "  I Love You."
Cost - $18.00
Husband to Wife after she agrees to let him go Up North on that hunting trip - "Thanks Honey, I Love You."
Cost - ...Okay  face it, I'll never know how much those trips really cost.
Mom to Children  - "Can  I get your help with the house work today?'
Children - "Uh Huh"
Mom - Thank you babies,  I Love You.  (See, didn't cost them a penny)
Children - "Uh Huh"
In my children's defense, I DO, from time to time, get those I  Love You's for Free.  and oh, they feel so good.
