Her Daddy Issues

"The first time I attended my girlfriend Joyce's friend gathering, after a few rounds of drinks, her male best friend pulled her onto his lap.With a cigarette dangling between his fingers, he grinned. "Call me daddy!"Instead of getting offended, Joyce leaned into him, helpless but indulgent, and said, "Daddy."I froze, scowling, but she waved me off without a care. "It's just a joke! Lucius always never cared for the rules, and everyone knows we have a father-daughter vibe, okay? Don't get it all twisted, Henry! Aren't you a man?"Lucius became even more provocative, throwing a smoke ring at me. "Yo, son-in-law! Aren't you going to bow to me? Come on, kneel and offer me a drink, and your dad's got your back!"Everyone at the table burst into laughter as they waited to see me lose my temper and make a scene.I just smiled, meeting Joyce's impatient gaze with an excited expression. "That's great! I like the way you think, so why don't you call me daddy too?""
