Ad-Dressing Whose Side You’re On

(My dad and I are getting ready to watch a movie, and are talking about my older sister’s wedding. I start talking about what I want for mine.)

Me: “I want to wear pants. Nice flowing ones that can look almost like a skirt but pants.”

Dad: “Sure, if that’s what you want.”

Me: “You must promise to be on my side against naysayers.”

Dad: “You know the only one who will care is your mother.”

Me: “You MUST promise to be on MY side against naysayers.”

Dad: “Ah. Gotcha, no problem.”
