The father of a daughter, especially one in her teens,will find that she doesn't like to be seen walking with him on the street. In fact, she will sometimes ask him to walk a few paces behind. The father should not take this outdoor demotion personally; it is simply a matter of clothes. His are rotten. Every American daughter is an authority on fashion, and one of the things she knows is that her father dresses like somebody in the Mummers Parade.
Bill Cosby, b. 1937, from "Fatherhood"
