"Uh, Dad?" said Dani hesitantly.
"Yes?"
"I uh, have something to tell you."
"What is it, pumpkin?"
"I'm gay, dad. I like girls."
"Oh." said her father "I was wondering when you were going to get around to telling me that."
Dani was stunned. "You knew?"
Her father smiled. "Well, you never showed any interest in any of the young guys I hired for hauling and your eyes lit up whenever a pretty woman walked in the room. It just seemed kind of obvious after a while. So are you telling me this now because you have a girlfriend you want me to meet?"
Dani rolled her eyes. Why couldn't her father be clueless, like a sitcom dad? She was pretty sure Homer Simpson wouldn't react like this. "Yes."
