Mom had two beautiful kids. They ended up marrying two girls who… well, Mom never thinks they're good enough for her beautiful kids. Because they got married, and each couple went to live in a city, one in São Paulo and the other in Belo Horizonte. Then Mom became a widow and had to choose who she would live with.
– In which son's house are you going to live, Dona Santinha?
– Oh, my daughter, my problem is that one daughter-in-law wants me to go to São Paulo and the other wants me to go to Belo Horizonte...
– Oh, how nice and affectionate your daughters-in-law, Dona Santinha!
– Not so much, my dear. The one from São Paulo wants me to go to Belo Horizonte, and the one from Belo Horizonte wants me to go to São Paulo.
