neurosis..
Little Mary was on the beach with her mom.
"mummy, may I play in the sand?"
"No, Darling. You'll only soil your clean clothes."
"May I wade in the water?"
"No, you'll get wet and catch a cold."
"May I play with the other children?"
"No, you'll get lost in the crowd."
"Mummy, buy me an icecream."
"No, it's bad for your throat."
Little Mary began to cry.
Mother turned around to a woman who was standing nearby and said, "For heaven's sake! Have you ever seen such a neurotic child?"
