On becoming a princess

Driving home from an evening trip to the pediatrician due to unrelenting cough and a neck rash, we started talking about jobs. It all started with the terms freshman, sophomore, junior and senior (as we drove by the local high school) and how these terms apply to both high school and college. "And what comes after college?" both asked. That launched us into the whole idea of graduate school, such as med school if you want to become a doctor, law school if you want to become a lawyer, vet school if you want to become a vet and business school if you're interested in working for a company, running a company, becoming a banker, for instance. Unimpressed, Portia questioned: "And what if you want to become a princess?" To which Hugo immediately and matter-of-factly replied: "You have to move to London."
