The Modern World

Flying Car

Child: It would be fun to live in a house on the water, you could have a diving board where you could jump into the ocean.

Parent: Maybe someday when you're older you can live in one.

Child: But those houses won't be there then, it'll be the Modern World.

Parent: What will the Modern World be like?

Child: There will be hovercraft cars that don't run on gasoline, floating homes, houses with rockets coming out of them...

Parent: Anything else?

Child: Well, maybe the houses would stay the same, there'll just be new cars.

Parent: Hovercraft cars?

Child: And podracers. But they won't run on gasoline. They'll run on futuristicky stuff.

Parent: Looking forward to it.
