If you love something, set it free

If it comes back, it will always be yours

If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with

BUT----------

If it just sits in your living room, watches your TV, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, borrows your car, takes your money, and doesn't appear to realize that you actually set it free in the first place you either married it or gave birth to it.
