Bras Cause Cancer!

The daily argument between the teen-manga-rock star and myself went martian today when I gave her her daily admonishment to strap on a brazier.

"You mean put on a straight jacket for my boobs?"

"Yeah. Please?"

"I can't believe you want me to restrain my womanhood!"

"I'm not--your what?"

"Bras cause breast cancer, dad!"

"WHAT!?"

"Everybody knows that."

"No they--"

"Leave me alone! Let my boobs run free!"

I gave up. Sometimes all a parent can do is stare, mouth agape,
high speed electric drill poised over their forehead, and hope that guy from Scrubs doesn't play you in the movie.
