I love Alias because it's a great show for women who have daddy issues. Now, of course, it's also a great show for women who have mommy issues.

My mother calls me during the commercials. No, really, we're not in high school.

L: Hello?
J: You can never say I'm a bad mother ever again. I never shot you.
L: This is yet another reason why we will never be normal.

[next commercial break]

L: Hello?
J: I swear, Sydney and Jack remind me of you and your father. They could be you! Except I'm not a KGB agent. Or thin. But they could be you! Maybe you could do that.
L: Be a spy?
J: Sure. You're mean and amoral.



Speaking of daddy issues...

I wonder what kind of advice other fathers give their daughters. My father's chief advice went along these lines:

If you're in a knife fight, you're gonna get cut. Accept that, bleed, and keep on going.

Now that I have several years in between the younger, confused me and, well, me, I realize that his advice can be taken as a metaphor for life in general. But really, all he meant was that if you're in a knife fight, you're gonna get cut. There's just not a lot of depth there.

Not that he was wrong.

LOL. Clearly, she's up for the Mother of the Year awad since she never shot you.

My father's chief advice? If you find yourself in a jam, pay everyone off. Scary thought.
