daughter: “Dad, I made a PowerPoint presentation today.” (head): “fuckin' Microsoft.” me: “Wow, that's impressive. Did you have any trouble?” daughter: “No, not really. OK, I had little trouble Googling for pink.” me: “Why was that hard. Didn't you go to google and type 'pink'?” daughter: “Yeah, I did, but it only found things about Pink. You know, the artist?” (head): “This conversation is going last much longer than it should.” me: “OK” daughter: “She sings the song, 'Stupid Girls'” me: “Yeah, I know.” daughter (singing): “Stupid girl, stupid girls, stupid girls...” (head): “OMG.” me: “Yes. I know the song.” daughter: “I think she was married to that motocross guy.” (head): “Faster please.” me: “Right. Carey Hart. Got it. Where are you going with this?” daughter: “Oh, well I wanted to have pink as my background.” me: “So, what was the trouble?” daughter: “I told you, I only got things about Pink the artist.” me: “Right, we've been through this.” daughter: “Well, I wanted pink the color.” me: “You're kidding right?” daughter: “No, for real, I wanted a pink background but it wouldn't let me pick the color, so I thought I would go get a pink picture from the internet.” me: “A picture of the color pink.” daughter: “Right, but I couldn't find any.” (head): “...don't say anything JC, you'll just hurt her feelings...” me: “What else did you do today?”
