Just now
(Dad pulls me over to the couch to sit. He looks at my head funny.)
Dad: How come your ear so small?
Me: I don't know. They've always been small.
Dad: Your ear too small.
(he looks disappointed.)
Me: What?
Dad: Long ear, Long Life!
Me: I was born this way.
(His face drops)
Dad: I'm worried...
(pause)
Dad: But it's okay because you're short so proportional still long ear!
