Ouch! I'm always telling people I'll help them out if I ever win the lottery. I hope no one's actually banking on it.

My younger son tells me sometimes that he'll help me out if he's ever in a position to do so. I can't imagine actually holding him to it. Or even fantasizing about it. (I fantasize more about the lottery.) When he says that, what I think he means is: "I love you, mom, and I wish I could do something to make your life easier." I imagine there's also a bit of: "I'd like to be a hero and rescuer, so that people will admire me."
