The very center of normality


Daisy: I think Elf is a little weird. I mean Buddy. 
Dad: I think he's pretty normal. He's a pretty normal guy. 
Daisy: No, he's weird.
Dad: Just like me. I'm a normal guy. 
Daisy: No, you're weird. 
Dad: Me?! I am the very center of normality. 
Daisy: What's normality? 
Dad: Think about normality. What do you think normality means?
Daisy: Normal.
Dad: That's right. The state of being normal. Like me.
Daisy: No, not like you. You're not normal. You're weird. 
Dad: Yeah, that's what Mom says. You guys are all wrong. Who's more normal than me? Name me one dad that you know that's more normal than me. 
Daisy: Chris. 
Dad: Who's Chris?
Daisy: M____'s dad. 
Dad: Oh, yeah. Well, he does seem pretty normal. But you don't know. You don't know him that well. You don't know what kind of weirdo he is when he's not around you. 
Daisy: But I do know what kind of weirdo YOU are!
