And here's how it goes down:
Me (to my son): “You will marry the girl I choose.”
My son: “No!”
Me: “She is Bill Gates’ daughter.”
Son: “OK.”
--- I Call Bill Gates ---
Me to Bill Gates: “I want your daughter to marry my son.”
Bill Gates: “No.”
Me: "My son is the CEO of World Bank.”
Bill Gates: “OK.”
--- I call the President of World Bank ---
Me to President of World Bank: "Make my son your CEO."
WB Pres: “No.”
Me: “My son is Bill Gates’ son-in-law.”
WB Pres: “OK.”
