I was at my daughter’s 5th grade “Certification” ceremony yesterday. Before the ceremony started, they were showing power point slide shows the kids had done for a media class. The title of the project was “All About Me” and the kids listed stuff they liked and wanted to be.
Most contained the typical stuff like “I like soccer”, “I want to be a vet” “I enjoy macaroni and cheese”, but everyone once in a while a little treat would show up on the screen for you. One kid said “I want to get rid of my sister”, while another had this one desire, “Just once,” it read, “I would like to beat my brother at something.”
While many of the kids professed a desire to be rich, one youngster was more specific: “I want one trillion dollars” he proclaimed. I was thankful that the next slide didn’t say, “No, seriously. One trillion dollars in small bills placed in a small bag outside my room before midnight and I’ll let my sister live.”
