Until you look inside the box, your younger relative is both a child and an adult. The last time you saw them they were in a Diaper and now they make complete sentences. Then the next time you look, they're starting highschool. Then they're driving. Then they have their own kid. In your own head they're still a child even when you're talking to them about how to manage a mortgage.
Last time I saw Dani, she was starting high school; Then she went through schrodinger's puberty and got married.

When a person might be waving at either you or a person behind you. There is no way to know unless you turn around to check.
"Bro, I was stuck in a Schrodinger's Wave yesterday!"
"How so?"
"I saw this lady waving in my direction and I wasn't sure if she was referring to me or someone else. Turns out she was waving to someone behind me after I checked."
"Damn, that's rough bro. Must've felt awkward afterwards."

In DND... You and your team have to roll for initiative against a creature that is rated at a CR high enough to wipe out your party in one round.
New player: I'd like to take a swing at Santa.
Vertern player: no you don't.
New player. Does a 21 hit?
DM: not even close
Vertern player: Idiot! Santa is a level 20 Arch Fey!
DM: someone's on the naughty list, roll for initiative.
Vertern player: dead or alive, this is a Schrodinger's initiative. We dead, no cap.
Vertern player: no you don't.

A person so greedy and rich that do absolutely nothing and at the same time most of them lose money and have to sell their properties because the time and money commitment is a net loss for them. The participate in a system where money is just given to them with no work yet becoming a landlord is so hard that no one who dislikes landlords can figure out how to become one.
I must be one of those Schrodinger landlords because I lost money but I'm still hated for providing short term housing to people who don't want the commitment of buying a home.
