A Windfall And A Wake-Up Call

Synopsis

I hit a jackpot in the lottery, and jokingly told my parents about it. They just looked at me with a straight face and asked, "If you really hit the jackpot and got three wishes, what would you want most?" I thought about it for a second, then I said, "First wish? I want to buy a bigger house, so our whole family can live together." But my mom said, "Your brother's about to get married and still needs a house. When you buy it, make sure it's under his name." I said, "Second wish? I want to travel the world." My dad said, "Your brother's girlfriend always wanted to go to Haven Isles. Let them have it as their honeymoon." I smiled at their expectant faces. They were waiting for my third wish. I said, "My third wish? From now on, I have no parents. No brother."
