Two little boys get up one Christmas morning and rush to the Christmas tree. There is an enormous package for 10 year old Johnny - a complete electric train set, with enough track to fill the whole living room, several trains, carriages, railway crossings, railway stations, people... everything you could want, all remote controllable.
Then 7 year old Billy opens his Christmas present - it is a wooden car with a string on it to pull it with. The parents behave as if this is quite normal, and brush off any questions about it.
That night, after the lights have gone out, Johnny snickers and calls out to his brother across their room, "hey, Billy, have you ever considered that maybe our parents just don't love you any more?"
After a few seconds of silence, Billy replies, "hey Johnny, have you ever considered that maybe you have cancer?"
