Student: Wait, it costs $20,000 to adopt a kid?!
Me: Yeah, it's pretty expensive if you have to travel to a foreign country.
Student: Why do you have to go there?
Me: Well, you need to meet the child, fill out legal paperwork, etc.
Student: Can't you just mail the baby? You know, in a super padded box or something? Then it would be much cheaper.
Me: Uhhh....that doesn't sound safe.
Student #2: Just mark it "FRAGILE" on the side so it doesn't end up upside down, and send it express!
