As to Shannon’s “Best Line Ever,” I would have to vehemently disagree. The question itself is not all that wise if it is looking for a positive response. And while the response to the question is certainly filled with plenty of bravado, it’s also quite proud and lacking in wisdom. I certainly could never answer that way.

Here is a much better, and biblical, answer:

“No sir, I am not, at least not today. But one day I hope to be as Christ continues to make me more like Himself over the course of my life. And just as I am willing to take that same risk with your daughter, I hope she—and you—will take that same risk with me.”

Now if any father would turn down that better response, he’d be crazy—and his daughter probably would be, too.
