When my second wife passed away, she left a LOT of magazines. This included a lot of knitting magazines. I had a co-worker who loved to knit, so this conversation ensued:

Me: (late wife) had a ton of knitting magazines. You want some?

Her, eagerly: YES!

Me: How many do you want?

Her: ALL OF THEM!

Me: Um, she had a LOT; are you sure...

Her: ALL OF THEM!

Me: Okay...

So over the next couple of weeks I gave her box after 35-pound box of knitting magazines.

As I was giving her the 10th box:

Her: Thanks, but, um, I think that's enough, I don't need any more after this.

Me: But you said...

Her: No, really, that's enough!
