Oh, my goodness, fathers and the things that come out of their mouths. When my sister got married, my dad paid for her wedding. Then he offered to pay for my graduate degree because 'it's not like you're going to get married'. Thanks, Dad!
I took the money, because I'm not an idiot. And now that I've lost almost 100 pounds, my dad LOVES to brag about me. (I'm still single, though, and he still sees that as a major flaw. Some things never change!)
