Well, it would bother me. In the same sense that I'm not going to deliberately make my daughter out to be more than she is, I'm not going to make her out to be less than she is, either.

Besides, how would it be when it makes the rounds of the office that my daughter....., she comes to visit me at work, and someone makes an unthinking comment?
