Scandalicious

My sister, as you may or may not already know, has recently moved in with the Scholzen to be our nanny for a year. Last weekend she and I were discussing the importance of a father figure as a source of unconditional love and the rather emphatic guidance that often accompanies it.

Laurie: I know. I mean, otherwise, who would there be to care what I did with my life? To tell me not to be a stripper?

Me: I'd tell you not to be a stripper, sissy.

Laurie: Aww, thanks.

Me: Laurie. Don't be a stripper.

Laurie: OK, that's good advice.

A few hours later, we were discussing something completely unrelated...

Me: Laurie. Don't be a stripper.

Laurie: Ok. Jeez. I wasn't really thinking of becoming a stripper, you know. It was just an example.

You can never be too careful with your little sister.
