Well, that was intended more to be a description of what
I would do than it was a suggestion. I tend to react to everything with sarcasm. You can try it if you want to, though. If your dad is intent on putting you down with a stereotype, why not point out its absurdity by having a bit of fun with it?

Haha good question. The reason is rather silly, though, so I might leave that one a mystery.

Once again, thanks everyone, you've all been very friendly. This week I'll be very busy with school, and then for two weeks I'll be at camp, so I won't be posting very much for a while. But after those three weeks, I'll hopefully be able to relax and post more often.
P.S. Not trying to "bump" my thread, just letting you all know so you won't think I gave up already.
