Delores: I'm so glad you showed up for the Holiday, Dad!
Dad: Me too, sweetie.
Delores: So, why didn't Kristi Kay come with you?
Dad: Oh... Uh, she was busy with other things.
Delores: Things... Like spending all your money?
Dad: No no no no...
Dad: Yes.
Dad is a realist. Sentimental, but a realist nonetheless.
