Next time just say: "I am a millionaire, and more. My kids are worth more than I could have imagined"

  Right. Once you figure out there are more columns in the life-ledger than cash, decisions change. To the bafflement of folks that haven't figured it out yet.

  That's more literally true than you think. My children nursed me back to health after doctor's wrote me off for dead. It's supposed to cost about $100k-$250k annually to treat my condition conventionally. My oldest has the same condition. Between the two of us, that's up to a half million dollars per year. We were diagnosed over 18 years ago. You can conservatively guess that my kids have been worth at least $1.5 million to me, and potentially more than $9 million. (That's just the dollar value saved on treatment. You can put no price on the improvement in quality of life that I got out of it.)

  "If money is all that you want, money is all that you will have" - no idea who first said this, but so true.
