Making A Birds And The Bee-Line For The Punch-Line

(We are in a 24-hour diner late at night after driving all day, My dad decides it’s a good time to give my younger sister some advice about the birds and the bees, since she’s at that age.”

Dad: “And don’t let anyone pressure you into doing something you’re not ready for! Remember: at the end of the day, you just have to love and respect yourself and no one can hurt you!”

Sister: *quite embarrassed* “Okay, dad.”

Dad: *seeing me not paying attention* “[My Name], do you love yourself?”

Me: “Frequently.”

(Cue laughter from nearby tables.)
