TELEVISION/VIDEOS: Daughter embarrassing herself

Daughter: "Looks like we're totally lost!"

Me: "That's okay long as we don't see a smoke monster!"

Daughter: "Ha!"

After a pause...

Daughter: "It's kind of sad I got that reference."

Me: "Yeah... Yeah, it is."

Daughter shaking her head: "God, I am so your daughter!"
