In which I give my mother two successive skipped heartbeats

Me: Mama?
Mama: Yes, Isabel?
Me: I wanna fall in love.
Mama: (gasp) You do? That's.....nice, Isabel.
Me: Mama?
Mama: Yes, Isabel?
Me: What's "fall in love?"
Mama: (hysterical laughing, no answer to my question)

After a few minutes, I begin to sing:
Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love
Let's take a chance on it

And Mama dissolves into further bursts of laughter.

Ever since playing a gig with Frank Sinatra, Jr. , Daddy has been walking around the house singing snippets of this song. Can you blame me for picking up a few lines? It is pretty catchy, after all.
