Lots And Lots Of Confusion

(My husband and I are chatting before bed.)

Husband: “I love you.”

Me: “Do you love me lots?”

Husband: “I love you lots and lots.”

Me: “That’s not lots. That’s more than lots.”

Husband: “No, it’s still lots. It’s lots, and lots!”

Me: “No, that makes it lotses.”

Husband: “No. It’s like this: all lions are cats. But not all cats are lions.”

Me: “I don’t follow.”

Husband: “All lots and lots are lots, but not all lots are lots and lots.”

Me: “Ooooh, I see. But I still think it’s lotses.”
