OK, how about the one of the women I worked with meeting my daughter (college age at the time) and saying, to me in front of her, "Wow, you have such a beautiful daughter!!!!" and then with a glance at me, "She looks nothing like YOU." Without missing a beat I said, "She takes after her father." Since she'd met my husband, and while he might be called a good looking man he is NOT beautiful, she said "oh." and let it drop. She also wasn't aware that my daughters' beloved "Daddy" is a step father.
