Father Knows Best

TBogg has some fatherly advice, I think we all could use.

Me: (entering living-room and flopping across the loveseat like an extremely tired invertebrate)

Mrs. Tbogg: We have a dilemma.

Me: (groan) What do you mean by "we"?

15 year old daughter: Tuesday is (name of boyfriend)'s birthday and I don't know what to get him.

Me: Why don't you just give him a hickey and take us out of the loop.

Daughter: (Imagine a look merging all the best qualities of horror, shock and disgust)....

Mrs. Tbogg: I can safely say that no father has ever given that advice to his daughter in the history of mankind.
