Tina Fey’s prayer for her daughter

First, Lord: No tattoos. May neither Chinese symbol for truth nor Winnie-the-Pooh holding the FSU logo stain her tender haunches.

May she be Beautiful but not Damaged, for it’s the Damage that draws the creepy soccer coach’s eye, not the Beauty.

When the Crystal Meth is offered, May she…

The writer must be four people

1) The nut, the obsédé

2) The moron

3) The stylist

4) The critic

Good Friends/Best Friends

Best Friends put your contacts in your eyes for you because you just chopped serrano peppers and it burns if you do it yourself. And your eye makeup is so cute you can’t bear to wear glasses! And the party is about to start!

Father Daughter Conversations

Dad (arriving early morning): Hey, are there any guys here?

The notion that I am going to let you guys undo that in a 6-month spending bill, I said “you want to repeal health care? Go at it. We’ll have that debate” You’re not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget. You think we’re stupid?
