Ambitions and limitations

Nico, 4 y.o.:

"Maman, we haven't got a lift in our house.
- No Nico, it's because our house is a bit small. But we have stairs.
- Well my house is going to have a lift. It's going to be bigger than yours. It's going to go really high, and under the ground too.
- Oh? Well you'll have to listen at school so you can be smart, then you have to work really hard and earn a lot of money so you can buy a house.
- I'm not going to buy it, I'm going to build it.
- ...
Well bricks cost a lot of money too.
- I have a lot of money! In my piggy bank!
- How much have you got now? $4?
- I think I have $100.
- Ah. A house will cost you $1 million. You'll need to buy the land, and the bricks.
- I already have the land!
- ...
- In Coromandel! In the grass.
- And where will you work? In Auckland or in the Coromandel?
- In Auckland. It's a long way away.
- It is. 3 hours. You'll have to wake up at 5, to get to work at 8. So you'll need a car.
- No, you can drive me."
