IK:       Daddy

DT:      Yes, pumpkin.

IK:       Do you remember 1994?

DT:      Sure.

IK:       And do you remember ...?

DT:      Sweetheart, listen.  I have a lot of important meetings today, so maybe you could get to the point. 

IK:       Okay, it was April 1994, "Take Your Daughter To Work Day."  You were supposed to take me to a staff meeting where you were going to let me fire someone, but your wife at the time, wanted to go to Las Vegas, so that was that.

DT:      Yeah, I kind of remember that, but didn't I ... I thought I ... I made it up to you, right?

IK:       What you said was, "Some day, sweetheart I'll make it up to you, anything you want?"

DT:      Are you sure I never ...

IK:       Here's the deal.  I know you have that Partnership with Africa meeting coming up.

DT:      Yeah, can't wait. So?

IK:       I want to sit in your chair!

DT:      What? 

IK:       All you have to do is say you were busy for a minute.  But I just want to sit in your chair.  Long enough for them to take pictures.  Do you sit next to Trudeau?  Please tell me it isn't that Indian troll.

DT:      Honey.  How's this going to look?  I mean, people are already talking about how you're getting special treatment.

IK:       So now you're worried about what people are saying.  Look, Daddy, you owe me.  Either I get to sit in that chair or I swear I'll tell everyone about ...

DT:      Okay.  You win.  Five minutes, that's it.

IK:       Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!
