(My sister is a lesbian and after our mother doesn’t react very well to her coming out, she is nervous about telling our more conservative father.)
Sister: “Dad, I need to tell you something.”
Dad: “Okay.”
Sister: “I’m gay.”
Dad: “That’s nice. What do you want for dinner?”
(A couple months later she became a vegetarian.)
Sister: “Dad, I’m a vegetarian.”
Dad: “What? Why would you do something like that!”
Sister: “This is what you have a problem with?”
Dad: “Of course! Being a vegetarian is a choice!”
