  1. I know this is supposed to be about love becoming overarching and more important than material wealth, but all I can think when I look at this is, "potty training toddler empties mom's purse"

    1. Indeed! And note how the toddler also doesn't recognize any "value" to those silly pieces of paper and metal in the purse! Just don't give the toddler a bow and arrow . . .

    2. Yeah, I noticed the arrow was already bloody.

      Or did he stab her lipstick...? 😬
