The<br \/>reason I say such a thing is that I&#8217;m also an orphan, having lost<br \/>first my father, then my mother. They are both buried under a fig tree<br \/>planted by my one-armed brother in Transkei.<\/p>\n<p>You and I have so much in common.<\/p>\n<p>One urgent request. I need you to prove your love for me. And the best<br \/>and easiest way for you to do this will be to meet one request.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to know what my request is?<\/p>\n<p>If I tell you, will you promise not to laugh?<\/p>\n<p>Will you promise not to think of me as a dirty old man getting his<br \/>jollies over making requests from innocent young women?<\/p>\n<p>I know that I&#8217;m not all THAT old. But you ARE 23. And I AM 39. Please<br \/>don&#8217;t ask me if I&#8217;m turning 40 in February. Because I&#8217;m going to have<br \/>a surprise party, and you can be the guest of honour. I&#8217;ll think of<br \/>you as my &#8216;daughter&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The way Woody Allen thinks of his daughter as his &#8216;daughter&#8217;. And<br \/>when I become your &#8216;daddy&#8217;, the first thing I&#8217;ll do with our money is<br \/>send you to spelling lessons. With your permission, of course.
