All children want are life's simple things

Daddy stays up late each night reviewing for an exam:

Pia: Daddy, why do you always work late at night?

Daddy: I'm not working, I'm...doing my assignments.

Pia: So that we will have more money?

Daddy: Yes

Pia: If we have plenty of money we can buy many things, even expensive things?

Daddy: (hesitation) ... yes ...

Pia: And you can buy expensive gifts?

Daddy: Yes...

Pia: Daddy...

Daddy: Yes, Pia?

Pia: I want you and Mommy to be rich.
