My daughter, it seems, can get a job by just walking into a store without saying anything.

She’s a very pretty girl and she looks a good bit older than her actual age. It’s become rather routine, when she walks into one of the very trendy youth and young-adult oriented clothing stores, for the manager to ask her her age. “Oh, you’re way too young,” the managers always respond. One of them explained to her my daughter that if she were older, she would have offered her a job. Apparently these stores like to hire very pretty girls to work there because it fits the image the stores are trying to project.

Does the amount of attention my daughter gets because of her looks bother, even scare me? Well, let’s put it this way: given that she can get a job without talking, I’ve just told my financial advisor to transfer her college savings account to a different type of account, one titled, Blogenberg Porsche Savings Account.

My daughter: When I get my license can I have the SUV?
Me: I don’t know what we’ll do when you and your brother get your licenses.
My daughter: But I need to have the SUV. A girl in an SUV looks powerful, in control.
Me: Oh.
My daughter: Well, I mean, it depends on what kind of sunglasses she’s wearing.
