Dad: On a Saturday morning?
 
Daughter: Yeah. He's taking me fishing.
 
Dad: Fishing? Since when did you start liking 11 fishing?
 
Daughter: Since Dirk gave me this ring! What do you think?
 
Dad: What? Wait. I'm not going to ask. Let me get breakfast on the table . . . Then, we'll have a long chat.
