Jason and I got news that we are pre-approved for a mortgage to purchase a house today! We are very excited, and not to mention, extremely relieved because just a mere couple months ago, we didn't think we would, or be able to afford it. I immediately called my mom to tell her the good news, this is the conversation that ensued:

Me: Mom! Guess what?!

Mom: What?

Me: Jason and I got pre-approved for a house!

Mom: Oh really? 多少? (How much?)

Me: We're getting approved for $200!

Mom: ... 為什麼這麼少? (Why such a small amount?)

Me: ... What do you mean so small?? The townhouse we were looking at is only $130!!

Mom: ... Oooohhh... You mean $200 THOUSAND!

My mom thought we were going to take out a loan for 200 dollars. Sigh.
