Today all the children and I went to a coffee shop and a lady helped insure that I will have to get my children into therapy. Earlier maybe.

So she walks up and says, "Wow, it's too bad you have such an ugly family..."

So now I know she was trying to be funny but it was an unfortunate and terrible delivery. The fact that she was old and a complete stranger definitely worked against her, but then on top of that a bad delivery. Even I who am very skilled in sarcasm could barely tell she was making a joke.

So as if she knew, she quickly came out with, "They are all just gorgeous!"

She was trying to recover what was clearly a social accident but not before the four-year-old looked up at me and as if the lady wasn't even still there, said, "Did she say we were ugly Daddy?"
