Sofie vs. Stock

A reader just sent me a comment and stated he wouldn't trade his child for Google prime stock. I admire him, but I wonder if I feel the same way about Sofia?

I mean, of course, I'd like to *say* I wouldn't trade her, but on the days I want to donate her to the SPCA on the grounds that she's an ill behaved hairless pug, I'm not sure I'd have the willpower.

Hopefully the day I am approached to make a trade for 700 shares of Apple, Google, or other enticing stock options, it will be after a night of sleep so my good judgment will prevent me from saying yes.
