Godwin’s Law – The Teenage Daughter Iteration

As the father of a teenage girl, this quote from Mike Godwin — of Godwin’s Law fame — makes me laugh,

Do you get inundated with clips from friends and family when there are Nazi comparisons in the news?

Relatives don’t really show me any examples, but there was a point where my daughter, who is about to turn 20, when she was in her early teens, she thought it was a hoot when she was mad at me to compare me to Hitler. She’d look at me with a very mischievous look and say, “You know, you’re acting just like Hilter.” Actually what happens now is that, every now and then somebody discovers that I’m on Twitter, and I’ll say something like there’s been an increase in prosecutions for a certain crime, and they’ll say, “You know who else increased prosecutions?”
