Why I Love My Daughter Part 4,372

Avocado comes in while I'm channel hopping. Somehow we wind up watching fifteen or so minutes of Independence Day. "What's this about?" she asks.

"It's about a plucky band of humans fighting back against mean aliens who want to kill all humanity and take over the Earth," I say.

"Uh huh. Do they do it?"

"Yup. Wanna know how?"

She nods, so I tell her: "They infect the alien invasion fleet with a computer virus, using a Mac laptop."

Avocado says nothing, but her eyebrow rises up so far into her hairline that it makes her face look lopsided.

"Yeah," I say. "About like that."

She leaves the room, shaking her head.
