Difference between Potentiality and Reality

Youngest Son: Tell me dad, whats the difference between potentiality and Reality?
Dad: I'l show you with examples.


Dad turns to his wife and asks her : "would you sleep with Brad Pitt for 1 million dollars?"

Wife: Yes of course!! I would never waste such an opportunity.

Then Dad asks the same question to his daughter.

Daughter: "Wow!!! Yes! he is my fantasy!

So Dad turns to his elder son and asks the same question.

Elder Son: "yeah! why not? Imagine what i could do with 1 million dollars! I would never hesitate!"

So the father turns back to his younger son and says: "you see son, Potentially we are sitting with 3 million dollars but in Reality we are living with 2 prostitutes and a gay."
