An Obsession

Subject: An obsession


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, he said, "You are obsessed with

eating. You've even named your daughter Candy."

He turned to the second mom. "Your obsession is

money. Again, it manifests itself in your child's

name, Penny." He turned to the third Mom. "Your

obsession is alcohol. Again, it manifests itself in

your child's name, Brandy."

At this point, the fourth mother got up, took her

little boy by the hand and whispered, "Come on, Dick,

let's go".
