“My daughters can understand you,” Austin von Letkemann, a military intelligence officer in Fort Cavazos, said in an Instagram video with more than 144,000 likes. “Every single time I go out …. if I have my four daughters, they’ll come up to me and they’ll be like, ‘Oh, I’m so sorry.’ All my kids can speak and understand English. They know what you’re saying. It hurts their feelings.”
The dad continued, “I’m not sorry that I have daughters. I love being a girl dad. I love having girls. The joke is old. It’s worn out. It’s not original. It’s not clever. It doesn’t even make a lot of sense.”
According to von Letkemann, the most common phrase he hears from strangers is: “Make sure your shotgun is ready.”
