Why are their fathers so aloof and uninvolved?  I think what it all boils down to is that here is the little bastard who's giving it to his little girl.  Sitting in his living room, engaged in idle chat with his wife.  Taking his daughter out and doing God knows what to her.

Dad thinks: "So it's come to this, has it?  The braces, the roller-skates, the Barbie Dream House and the dresses for homecomings and prom and now here's this goddamned outlander who probably isn't worth my little girl's time and he's...Christ, it's best just not to think about it.  Maybe he'll go away soon.  I'll just ignore him.  I swear to Holy Jesus if I ever catch them in the act I'll tear his pervert head off."

Maybe that's why they're always so detached when I'm around.  Or maybe it's because I'm a dusky savage and their daughters are white.
