STAND UP!

Our daddy says that we are not perfect. He says that nobody is. We said, "Daddy, what about you, though?". To which he replied, "No, my lovely ladies...not even I am perfect."
When we had finished crying, he explained that everyone makes mistakes. We will be able to tell the really good people in this world by who takes responsibility for their mistakes (and tries not to make them again).
Despite being such a passive, non-aggressive and non-violent person, Daddy says that if we ever meet Toronto MP Olivia Chow, that we have his blessing to "cuff her upside her dumb head". According to her, it must be someone else's fault that her mother isn't fluent in English:

My mother's not very fluent in English but she makes a very good citizen. She's been in Canada since 1970 but she had to work in a hotel for many years to raise her family, even though she was a school teacher," Chow said. "Is it her fault her English isn't fluent? No. Does she make a good citizen? Yes, I think so.

Our father has asked us to take responsibility for Ms. Chow's mother not knowing English and we have graciously agreed. He said that we can decide for ourselves whether or not it is even a bad thing that she is a citizen but doesn't know either of the official languages but it is definitely somebody's 'fault'.

So Ms. Chow, we are sorry that we have caused you to not know English fluently and we will try not to make that mistake again. Is that good, Daddy?
