Are you sure you mean free? F-R-E-E? You mean I get it for nothing? -Lucy (I Love Lucy)

Today I had this conversation:

Mom: "Noël, do you want a couch and a double chair for free?"
Me: "Sure. Where and what?"
Mom: "It's a 1 year old set that my friend's parents don't want anymore. They paid $3000.00 for it and they want to give it away. Do you want it?"
Me: "Of course! How much?"
Mom:"It's free. They want to give it to you."
Me: "Silence. Maybe I was pinching myself. I can't seem to remember.
