Career opportunities

I was putting Adriana to bed the other night and she announced that when she grows up, she wants to be a princess or a teacher.
I gently tried to break it to her: "Well, since you weren't born a princess, you'll have to marry a prince to become one."

She thought about it for only a moment and said:

"Ok, I'll just be a teacher." (I can't figure out what was less appealing; the marrying bit or the prince bit.)

Just as I was shutting the door to her room, I heard her add:

"Or a Dalmation..."

Aaaahhh, the dreams of childhood...too precious to burst their bubble.
