Profit Seeking
Gabby's got a plan

The other day, Gabrielle received a gift of a silk flower from her grandmother.
Quite predictably, she loved it. She wore it in her hair, carried it in her purse, and displayed it on the desk in her bedroom.
So I was surprised yesterday when she approached me, silk flower in hand, and asked how much I thought she could get for it if she sold it.
“I was thinking maybe ten dollars,” she suggested.
“Wow,” I said. “That’s a lot of money for a fake flower. You can probably buy one at the store for about 25 cents.”
“I know that,” she answered in exasperation. “That’s why I need to sell this one for at least ten dollars—so that I can buy a whole bunch of flowers at the store!”
New strategy suggestion, Sweetie: Wear the flower and attract a smart businessman for a husband.
