"Someday… someday!" she whispered to her parents after telling them of her life's ambition. "I may be cute and beautiful right now, but with any luck, I'll hit an awkward stage that I never fully grow out of, or I'll fall victim to some awful accident, and then I'll finally be ugly enough to be a Target model!" ...

While the girl's parents sought to remain supportive of their daughter's dream, they made practical attempts to manage her expectations. "You know honey, being a Target model isn't for everyone," her mother said. "Some girls are just too attractive to make it there. It's ok, sweetheart. I'm sure you'll find something you love to do when you grow up, even if you aren't hideous enough to model for Target."
