If Only It Were That Simple

Me: Hi, do you have a minute?
Eric: Sure, babe. What's up?
Me: Do you have $380,000 I can borrow?
Eric: Sure. For what?
Me: There is a beautiful house in Teaneck that I want to buy. It has 4-bedrooms, a deck, and a big backyard. In fact, I'd really like it if you could buy it for me as a Christmas gift.
Eric: Sure thing. You do realize that $380,000 is slightly more than the $100 cap we set on gifts back in October, right?
Me: Yes, but I'm sooo worth it.
Eric: I'll have to cash in my penny jar, but what the hell. Consider it done.
Me: Sweet.
