Diamond in the rough

One Sunday before Christmas, Princess daughter was dressed up for church and I was inspired to give her an early Christmas present to complete her outfit. As I opened the little jewelry box and put the crystal snowflake necklace around her neck, she asked if it was real diamonds. I replied that no, it wasn't.

She asked "Will I ever get real diamonds?" to which I replied "Yes, honey, you'll get some some day." Princess daughter thought for moment, then asked if I had any real diamonds. "Yes," I smiled. "Daddy's given me a few over the years."

To which she asked "Will I get your diamonds?" I laughed and replied "Yes, when I die."

"YAAAAAY!!!" and she jumped up and down, hands raised above her head, exclaiming loudly.
