My dad was not one for expressing his feelings to his daughters, but he did have one saying that he repeated numerous times to us:  "I wouldn't trade you for a horse and $100."  I never knew where that saying came from, but I always knew it meant that my dad loved me.

When I had kids of my own, every night at bedtime I would tell them, "I love you, and I wouldn't trade you for a horse and $100."

One night after we had put our kids to bed, my husband said to me, "I love you."  I said, "Yeah, but would you trade me for a horse and $100?"

He asked, "Is someone offering?"
