How My Dad Came Out

whenicameout:

It was at Thanksgiving and everything. Just me, my sister, and my dad.

Dad: So, since it’s sort of tradition to confess things over Thanksgiving dinner, I think I ought to let everyone know that I’m…uh, bisexual.

Me: Cool.

Little sister: What’s that?

Dad: It means I like girls and boys.

Little sister: Oh.

(my sister and I keep eating)

Dad: …and everyone’s alright with that?

Everyone: …yeah…

Dad: Oh. Okay, good. (sits down, then stands up again) At least act surprised, come on! I’m fifty, I’ve been sitting on this shit since I was sixteen!

Little sister: (confused) But you’ve always said you wanted to marry David Bowie!

Dad: Well, I thought you assumed I was kidding when I said things like that.

Me: Nobody is kidding when they say things like that about David Bowie.

[anon submission]

That last line….

So perfect

so TRUE
