OK but in this case isn’t it the social worker who might be gay, not his daughter?

But if this is his daughter, didn’t he give her that name?

Why would he be off the deep end?? The kids stay in the shallow end

Maybe he’s been crying because the other kids won’t play his game his way

She might just be being polite

I have 2 good suggestions

Why? It has no fee and pretty good cash back on Amazon.com right?

Blood is thicker than water is a proverb in English meaning that familial bonds will always be stronger than other relationships. The oldest record of this saying can be traced back to the 12th century in German.[1]

Writing in the 1990s and 2000s, author Albert Jack[18] and Messianic minister Richard Pustelniak[19] claimed that the original meaning of the expression was that the ties between people who have made a blood covenant (or have shed blood together in battle) were stronger than ties formed by “the water of the womb”, thus “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”. Neither of the authors cites any sources to support his claim.[18][19]
