Beware,Dad. The Thought Police carrying truncheons will come to call sooner or later. Give little Johnny lots of candy and let The Children’s Justice League drill and fill the cavities. Big Brother is watching.

I actually made that exact statement to some people I was vacationing with in the 1990s.
The hypothetical was:
Son: “Dad, I have something to tell you, and I hope it doesn’t upset you.” [pause in which Dad’s anxiety grows] “I’m gay.”
Dad: “Son, I am so relieved! I thought you might be going to tell me that you’re a Republican.”
I have an uncanny way of making enemies, even on vacations.
