"Dad, What's Social Security?

A conversation I just had with my teenage daughter:

Teen:  "Dad, what's social security?"
Dad:  "Well, it's kind of a retirement fund"
Teen:  "So, you mean this will be in my retirement fund?"
Dad:  (Silence)  "Well, uhm..no, it won't be there"
Teen:  "That stinks"
Dad: "It helps pay for older folks like me"
Teen:  "Pay for your own--this is my money"
Dad:  "It's kind of a tax on your wages"
Teen:  "I've already paid my taxes--what's this"

Ah...she's growing up way too fast!!!

That's hilarious. Tell her it only gets more annoying as you start to make more money.
