    My brother-in-law is korean, so my nephew and neices all did this. They all went for the calculator.

    Granted, they probably just liked the buttons, but I do have a fairly nerdy family.

    I always assumed that most kids would just go for the closest thing.

    One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. What he did was, he went into the boy’s room and placed on his study table these three objects: A Bible, a silver dollar, and a bottle of whiskey.

    “Now then,” the old preacher said to himself, “I’ll just hide behind the door here, and when my son comes home from school this afternoon, I’ll see which of these three objects he picks up. If he picks up the Bible, he’s going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be. If he picks up the dollar, he’s going to be a businessman, and that would be ok, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he’s going to be a drunkard a no-good drunkard, and Lord, what a shame that would be.”

    The old man was anxious as he waited, and soon he heard his son’s footsteps as he came into the house whistling and headed back to his room. He deposited his books on the bed, as a matter of routine, and as he turned around to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table.

    With a curious set in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. What he finally did was, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket, uncorked the bottle and took a big drink.

    “Lord have mercy,” the old man whispered, “He’s gonna be a politician!”
