So sorry for the incredibly late response but this absolutely helped make it click for me. Thank you for the detailed explanation!

I absolutely agree! But as I said in my initial response, I personally would think of that as more of a flattering compliment than anything else. I don’t understand why the dad found the similarities so overwhelmingly funny that he was on the floor laughing, struggling to breathe, with tears in his eyes.

Apparently OP understood the context as a “sick burn,” and I’m assuming the dad was laughing for some sort of similar mean spirited reason. I just feel like I’m out of the loop and I’m not understanding why the comparison is funny or any kind of burn.

I appreciate you trying to help me understand, but I’m sorry to say that I still don’t get it. Are large eyeglasses inherently funny for some reason?

Full disclosure I’m on the autistic spectrum, so I’m sure there is something obvious that I’m missing. In my mind large eyeglasses make a lot of sense because they cover a fuller degree of the field of view for the wearer.

I think that’s awesome! Mirabel is an amazing protagonist and Encanto is a wonderful movie, in my opinion. I would probably be more confused by dad’s reaction than anything else.

And what a delicious, satisfying, and filling soup at that!

Bahaha great minds I suppose. I tried searching for a similar post before making mine and didn’t find anything, but clearly I didn’t search for long enough.

While wearing jeans!
