HOW ABOUT WE PICK ONE?

Daddy?
my daughter said.
I want to do two things for my birthday.

Okay.
I said.
What are they?

The first,
she said.
Is go to Powell's Books.

Okay.
I said.
That's doable. What's the second?

The second thing,
she said.
Is I want to go to Disneyland.

Oh.
I said, but was unable to respond as her brother broke in:

Yeah,
he exclaimed.
We could go to Disneyland and then to Africa!

Okay,
I said.
We might need to do a bit of prioritizing here first.

Why?
They said.

I don't know.
I said, and contemplated emptying out my IRA, which would give our accountant a good chuckle.
