500 lbs.

Last week I was in the bookstore and a worker who was waiting on someone else to get off the phone asked me a question as I approached the counter.

If you could have 500 pounds of anything, what would it be?

So I thought for a few seconds and replied with ‘diamonds’ explaining that I would then sell them and afford to do all those things you want to do.

In thinking more on this since then I have wondered what others would say to this, and whether my answer makes be materialistic.
