Girl, you'll be a RealtorĀ® soon.

On my way home from work, I watched a man and his very young daughter walk down the opposite side of the street. As they passed, she studied a stick Victorian with great interest.

"Daddy, when I get big, I want to live in a house like that," she said, pointing.

He stopped for a moment to look up. "Well, honey, if you want to live in a house in San Francisco like that, first you have to win the lottery."

"When I get big, I'm going to win the lottery and live in a house like that one."

"Will you get a house for Daddy, too?" he asked.

"I don't know," she said, frowning.
