A psychiatrist who specializes in treating mothers is holding a group session.
He says to the four women seated in his office with their children, "I've discovered that all four of you have unhealthy obsessions."
To the first woman he says, "You are obsessed with eating. This manifests itself even in your daughter's name, 'Candy.'"
To the second woman he says, "You are obsessed with money. This can be seen, again, in your daughter's name, 'Penny.'"
To the third woman, he says, "Your obsession is with drinking. This is why you have named your daughter 'Brandy.'"
As he turns to the fourth woman, she rises abruptly, taking her young son by the hand, and says, "Come on, Dick, we're leaving. Your brothers Peter and Willy are waiting for us!"
