[Bulla huffs at the hair ruffling, mostly because it's messing up her nicely combed hair, and because she knows he's teasing her.]

Or maybe I could just be totally honest and tell her that you wanted to give her a day to deal with everything before talking to her tomorrow. How about just telling her the truth?

[Because that's going to be less of a headache, in Bulla's opinion. At her father's comment about how the food tastes, she looks ever so slightly amused.]

How would you know how leftovers from a garbage can taste, Dad?

[Leftovers from the fridge are one thing...but that's an odd point of comparison and if he's teasing her, turnabout is fair play.]
