While I was in Utah, I had a really great daddy/daughter bonding experience. Not just because of me comforting him after his father's passing, but because of the following story.
At the hotel Friday night, my daddy was having really bad hiccups. He said and I quote, "Wow, I haven't had hiccups this bad in years! Someone just needs to scare me or something!"
I know my dad well enough that I knew popping up behind him and making him scream wasn't going to work. My dad just doesn't get scared easily. Except for when it has to do with me...
The gears in my head start turning. What could I say as a daughter that would scare the beegeebers out of my father? I thought about "I'm engaged", but that's way too far fetched at the moment.
And then I thought of the perfect thing I could say. I looked my dad in the eyes and said with a straight face...
"Daddy, I'm not a virgin."
NOTE: This is totally FALSE!
And like a good father, my dad knew that already. But we all just started laughing until I cried.
The best part? He was cured!!!!
Yay happy ending.
