A Thoughtful Question

My wife had run to the store with our daughter, Becka and on the way home she drove through a neighborhood looking for houses for sale.
After a bit Becka, "Mommy, what are we doing?"
My wife said she was looking at the houses that were for sale.
Becka asked "Are you gonna buy a new house?"
Mom replied "Maybe."
Then Becka said with much concern, "But Mom, how will we get it HOME?!"
