It was a joke between a father and daughter while getting makeup put on before going out to speak at the RNC to make his 17 year old relaxed before she took the national stage. The context would have been the same if he said hot, beautiful, etc. Would that have made it better?
Father/Daughters that are close and very much alike in all ways sometimes have a weird sense of humor together.
Case in point when my daughter was in the er hooked up with the monitors she asked me to tell the ER doc if she goes into cardiac arrest not to paddle her. I asked her why.
Her words, Dad my nipples are pierced and my tits can blow off if they do.
I laughed my ass off.
