In reply to the discussion: Dad taking his daughter to watch the Barbie movie is legend! [View all]planetc
(8,354 posts)It's because he makes no attempt to be a convincing Barbie that he's grinning from ear to ear. He has the sort of middle-aged figure that you want to see on the guy who comes with a tow truck to take your car to his repair shop, but it was not made for tutus. He's laughing at the whole "guys wear this and girls wear that" delusion. He will wear what amuses him, and get a good laugh out of it. And his daughter has such a shy smile. Maybe she needs to be less shy, and with Eleazer for her father, she'll learn to laugh whenever possible.
And that's what's missing from our various culture wars: anyone laughing at themselves. I haven't found anything funny about climate change yet, but grown men running around afraid of drag queens? Hilarious!
