I said to my daughter, "Do you think you could sleep on that? "My daughter has mastered teen sarcasm, but she's not nasty about it. She is one of the absolute funniest people I know. She twisted her bangs in her fingers, smacked her imaginary gum, and said saccharinely, "Of course I could, Daddy. I'm a princess!"
