The other night, my daughter and I watched the season finale of Survivor (We Tivo'd it.) and were disappointed when Amanda didn't win. She was more upset about it than I was because she didn't like that Parvati backstabbed her original alliance.
So, my daughter said, "Aw. I wanted Amanda to win."
And I said, "Yea, but at least she met Ozzy. That's a positive."
She said, "Yea, that's true. Ozzy is nice."
Then, I asked, "What you you prefer: to meet a boy who said he loves you and you like him back...or...a million dollars?"
She looks at me and says, "Well, that's an obvious answer. A million dollars, of course."

Obviously, it is an easy answer for her considering the fact that she's only 9 years old and boys are still, for the most part, gross and annoying. But for many, this is still a difficult question.
