Kitty has been living on her own in a luxury apartment in Great Neck for over 10 years, ever since her husband died. But on the positive side, her son Henry has been very successful as a businessman, wheeling and dealing all over the world, as a result, he shops at the finest boutiques and department stores during his excursions to the world's major cities. During his latest trip, this time to Paris, Henry suddenly realises that he won't be able to get back home in time for his mother's 70th birthday. So he posts her via FedEx a special iced-box containing not only the finest of Russian caviar but also two bottles of the most expensive of Champagnes. On the morning of her birthday, Henry phones Kitty and says, "Happy birthday mom. Did you receive my box?" "Of course I got your box," replies Kitty in a bored tone of voice. "So nu? Tell me already. How was it?" asks Henry. "If you want an honest answer," Kitty replies, "the sparkling lemon juice was too sour for me and the blackcurrant jam tasted salty."
