A friendly little girl that lives on my block, stopped me when I was walking down the street. She told me sometimes she wishes her dad was not related to her, because he often comes home drunk, and every time he does that, he falls down a flight of stairs. I tried to appease her by explaining that if he falls down a flight of stairs as often as she says he does, then she should consider him as being her “step” father. (It makes sense to me.)
