Brainwash II

I have some much free time today....

I could not remember exactly when and where she got the idea. One day, she said “when I grow up, I want to be rich. I want to be rich so that I can give it all away.”  Several years later, I teased about it and reminded her about it. She said “I said that? when I grow up, I want to donate to a school. I  want to donate enough so that a college can be named after me.” Years later on college tours, I reminded her about it again. She said “when I grow up, I want to donate to a school. I want to donate enough so that a library can be named after me.”  On the way to college, I again teased. This time she said “It may not be a library, it may be a room, or a scholarship.” To which, I replied “My dear, whatever  it is,  it is within your reach.  Be grateful always, and it is within your reach.  No pressure!”
