I'm sorry that your dad saying that upset you. I probably would have been more upset had a stranger said it personally, only because I would probably think my dad was just being facetious, like when some people say the dog is "so ugly it's cute"...I know my dad used to say my little dog, bruno, was ugly. I don't know, the fact that your dad explained himself afterwards, kinda shows that he didn't really mean it in a mean way...maybe he didn't know it would hurt your feelings. And, again, I'm only even suggesting that because it didn't hurt mine when my dad said the same thing, and, he knew I wouldn't take it to heart, cuz I knew where it was coming from and I knew he loved my boy. Maybe he was thinking you would understand...I think what saves him is that he came back and basically said he meant that she was awkward and gangly looking, like a teenager sometimes is...I don't know, just trying to see it from a slightly different perspective...it just doesn't sound like it came from a mean place...did he apologize at all?
