My dad actually is coming out trying to admit that he's in for "the program" that I should be considered too old to look to Late Boom women as a mom. My mom won't let me use her age, though.
If you didn't understand, he said it in a tacky way, it seemed. He didn't literally say it but seemed to be getting the message across that Ellen DeGeneres is indeed special and should not have anything to do with me cuz I'm not good enough.
The joke keeps coming up that Ellen DeGeneres is too young to be like a mom to someone my age.
