The lady I bought my poncho from asked if I was a mother because she was giving discounts to mothers, and when I said no asked if I had pets. She then whispered that she didn't want the lady at the next booth, who carried the first lady's stuff in her shop, to realize how much cheaper she sold things for when she sold them direct, so she was tacking on discounts. I thought it was cute.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Well the waitress was kinda unsure since it was just two women having dinner. I was going to hand the envelope back but then, hey, future enchiladas. And so I said thank you.

Not that I'm aware of. But to be fair, while Father's Day may be as big a deal within a family it isn't obsessed over in wider culture the way Mother's Day is.
