Dads and Daughters
Posted on April 20th, 2010 by
“The father of a daughter is nothing but a high-class hostage. A father turns a stony face to his sons, berates them, shakes his antlers, paws the ground, snorts, runs them off into the underbrush, but when his daughter puts her arm over his shoulder and says, ‘Daddy, I need to ask you something,’ he is a pat of butter in a hot frying pan.” – Garrison Keillor

And I thought dads were the gatekeepers to prevent their daughters from being married off to total bozos that wouldn’t be suitable enough to be her husband.

We are… fear turns the butter into a space age polymer that cannot ever melt.
Take my daughter away will you? Maggie, go to your room. Honey, get the bat. Hey kid, see this bat? People used to play bat back in my neighborhood. We’d play bat all night. We never needed a ball, there was always someone – something, to hit.
