How to make your aunt happy

On Thursday night, while my niece Natalie was out for dinner with her family celebrating her 9th birthday (in Milwaukee), she and her Dad had a conversation that went something like this:

Natalie: "Dad, can I have a milkshake?"
Dad: "Yes, Natalie, it's your birthday so you can have anything you want."
Natalie: "Good. Then can I go to Switzerland?"
