Sophia: Daddy, will you pretend to be my father at my party?
Me: Yes, I'll pretend to be your father. But, you know, I don't have to pretend because I'm already your father.
Sophia: No, just pretend to be my father.
Me: Ok, what kind of father do you want me to be? A papa bear like this? HELLO!
Sophia: No, you can just be my daddy....
(Yes, but what's my motivation as a method actor in this role?!...)
