Looking around the room, Countess Coloratura comments: ''Wow. you got so many things here. You got a lot of kids, I know but look at this, TV's, VCRs, video games, turntables, beds, closets, everything crammed in one house. No wonder it's crowded.''
I say, ''Well, that's the problem. Where am I gonna put all this?''
Countess replies, ''My best solution is to get a new house. Think about it. Half of you can live in this house, half of you can live in the other house. There's really no opportunity to miss!''
I say, ''i guess there isn't - - hey! Wait! Another house? But I don't feel like that could make me see enough of the kids!''
The countess says, ''You won't miss them. They'll just be waiting in that other house.''
I say, ''But how are you gonna afford to give me another house just to see how my family will do in it?!''
The countess says, ''Simple. I had to earn enough and sell enough to come up with that idea. I mean, I have 500 million bits in my pocket these days. The job of financing my little idea costs 300,000 bits. And to think, when I got my cutie mark at camp for doing what I did at camp, I had virtually NOTHING!''
I say, ''Well, fair enough.''
After thinking it through I say, ''If you can afford to build us an extra house, I can afford to build us an extra house. It's a deal, Countess.''
She says, ''I'd like to thank you for agreeing to it. It's a pleasure working with you Mr. Blazer. And maybe while we're at it, I might find room to finance your singing career. You DO have a beautiful voice, like I've already said.''
Then it's off to look for contractors to help build that gosh-darn house.
