Best Compliment You've ever received

[Hooper_X]

When my daughter was 5 I took her to a Halloween haunted house that actually had a "haunted" trail through the woods. The teenagers on the tour were freaking out, but my daughter, who was the only small child on the tour, didn't seem the least bit frightened. So much so, that the tour guide asked her something to the effect of "why aren't you scared, little girl." My daughter's reply could have come right out of some surreal M. Night Shamalamadingdong movie (although at the time no one had ever heard of M. Night Shyamalan). She deadpanned back pointing to me, and I quote, "I have a monster of my own."

Fast forward 11 years, and I'm still talking about it... and probably will be until they load me into the crematorium.

That's cool. Was she referring to anything in particular?

Lol, that's what I call him too!

Perhaps I didn't adequately indicate that she pointed to me when she said, "I have a monster of my own." Thus, the best compliment I've ever received.

Unfortunately, I'm just old enough to have a vague recollection of Sha Na Na.

No you didn't indicate this at all.

Actually, I did. You must have responded in the few seconds before I edited the post.

Don't you hate when that happens.
