Funny
There's a father-daughter pair who frequently take my bus. They get on quite well and it always fills me with a vague warm glow to see them together. The father is handicapped in some way that necessitates him walking with a cane.
This morning, he vacated the front seat to make room for a tiny, ancient lady who was creeping onto the bus. His daughter cheerfully berated him, saying "Da-ad... those seats are for the elderly and infirm! YOU'RE the elderly and infirm, you know". He tried to explain to her that the lady was in more need of the seat than he was, and she replied "but you walk with a stick, and you're nearly 49, you know!" in that bossy tone that 12-year-old girls can take with their fathers. At that point he amiably told her to hush.
