So i told my daughter(she's 8) about how important school is to getting a good life and making more money then the people working at McDonald's, and she says this, made me literally rofl.
"Daddy, why even try at school if in 2012 I'm gonna die before i even get to college?"
-For some reason I just didn't have the strength to answer
