Heh. Way to get the point, Dad.
Jan. 16th, 2007 06:24 pmThe phone conversation I just had with my dad:
Me: Oh, you have to watch Ugly Betty. You'd love that.
Dad: Okay. (pause) Why is she ugly?
Me: Because some people are just not pretty, Dad.
Dad: No, I mean, why is she ugly on purpose?
Me: She's not ugly on purpose. She just has bad hair and braces and bad clothes and meat on her bones. It's not like she's doing it on purpose.
Dad: *hesitant* ... okay.
Me: *headdesk*
I guess my brain isn't working because "But she's pretty on the INSIDE, that's the point" didn't occur to me until after I hung up. *sigh*
