Rich Man

A friend of my parents had two daughters. One was diligent and one was a slacker. The slacker talked to her school's guidance counselor.

Counselor: You really need to improve your grades. With what you've got now, you won't get far. What do you plan on doing with your life? How will you make a living?

Slacker: I'll marry a rich man and shop every day.

When I heard this story, I was amazed. That was really what she wanted? How dull! But I realized one day: her plans for the future were just what her mom had done. Marry the rich man, spend his riches, make the kids do all the housework.

I don't know where the slacker is now.
