When Diets Go Too Far

This is the jest of a conversation with my mother this morning.

Me: When you dream about something it means you're deprived of it, right?
Mom: Usually, why what are you dreaming about?
Me: French fries.
(Long Pause, then mom snickered)
Mom: Most girls dream about boys, you dream about french fries?
Me: I dream about boys too. I had a dream about a boy a few nights ago.
Mom: How did I go wrong raising you?
Me: I could dream about boys with french fries?

Lol, this might be a sign my body is craving french fries. =)
