Don't Show Your New Outfit to the Doctor

Recently, I found a lovely blue-and-white plaid, sleeveless ( I don't know if that can mean 'strapless', but it's got no sleeves from the shoulder down, but still a lot of material over the shoulders;)) romper on Ebay, with short legs that have an inseam of about 5 inches. It was at a nice price, so I bought it, and when it came, I found that it fit me perfectly, just a well as (or even better than) if it had bee made for me! I was very excited, and ran into the room where the Doctor was working on a computer, saying, 'Hey, Doctor, look!' He gave a very faint 'Hmm?' but hardly moved.
'Look what I bought!' I said, holding up my arms to let him see the romper properly. Finally, he turned around.
'It's too small,' he said plainly, and turned around again.
'No, it's not too small! It fits perfectly!' I said, a little annoyed. The Doctor turned back around.
'Oh,' he said flatly. 'Well then you're too bare for me.' ('Too bare for me' is a joke with us, because when my brother was very young, he saw my dad with no shirt on and said that, so the Doctor meant, 'It's skimpy.') I just said 'Humph!', half amused and half annoyed, and walked out of the room. The romper buttons all the way up the front, and has no holes or anything in it; it's not a halter, and a 5-inch inseam is perfectly reasonable. I don't know why he thought it was skimpy. The Doctor is just so rude sometimes! It really reminded me of the second scene in Pyramids of Mars, though, when Sarah comes in wearing that pretty dress, saying, 'Hey, Doctor! Doctor, look! Look what I found!' and the Doctor, with very little emotion, says, 'Hello, Vicki.' then Sarah asks, 'What?' and the Doctor realizes it's her, and says, 'Oh. Where did you get that dress?' very strangely. The tone he had was very similar to the one my Doctor (whichever time he's come from) did. I guess I should get used to him saying things like that. He obviously doesn't know how rude he's being. And, in Pyramids of Mars, he was thinking about how he was tired of working for UNIT, and I think he's having a similar problem now, with whatever work he's currently doing. It's meant to be computer programming, but I think it must be something to do with UNIT or something like that. He often says things that sound a lot like 'And it's about time I found something better to do than run around after the Brigadier!'

"Entirely Due to My Influence, of Course"

Years ago, my mom told me that the fourth Doctor was like my dad. I watched one episode, but it was a later one, when the show's producer wasn't very good, and also just not the best episode, and I didn't really see much resemblance, except for the crazy-looking face a messy curls. A month or two later, we got "The Ark in Space", and that was when I really began to see the similarity. The first line that ever made me wonder about my dad was "You're improving, Harry! Your mind is beginning to work... It's entirely due to my influence, of course. you mustn't take any credit." There was and still is only one person I know who could say and has said that, and that person is my dad. He's said it to me, and last night he said something similar to my mom. I had almost forgotten about this proof of him being the Doctor, but then last night we watched "The Masque of Mandragora", and I realized that the conversation the Doctor and Sarah have in the TARDIS was all-too familiar to me from my life and not just the show. Sarah had asked the Doctor something about how the TARDIS could be so big, and he gave her a weird, useless answer that didn't explain. When she didn't understand, he said something like, "You humans have such small brains. I don't know why I like you so much," and Sarah quickly replied, "Because you have such good taste!" Then he says, "Yes, that's true. I do have very good taste," or something similar. Now, I've had almost exactly that same conversation with the Doctor, except, of course, since he refuses to admit who he is to me, it was "some people" or something like that, instead of "you humans", but he was talking about me as one of those people. I often wonder how he can be so rude and hold such a high opinion of himself at the same time. It's very insulting sometimes when he does it to you, but after a while, you get used to it, and just laugh it off as one of his strange little things, and it's funny when he does it to someone else. They tend to get rather annoyed, and then he has no idea why they insult him back! :)

And He Tells Me To think Before I Speak...

I was greatly offended by the Doctor the other day. I was wearing overalls with a turtleneck sweater, and my mom said it was a nice country look, but them the Doctor sees me and, laughing, says, "Well, Nikki looks like she just got dressed quickly to go to work after feeding the ducks!" I was shocked, but, a few minutes later, found out that he had meant he thought it was cute!
Now, this isn't the only time he's said something extremely rude to me, and been completely confused as to why I'm offended. For some reason, he never seems to know when he's being rude. Take the time he just walked off while I was talking to him (well, one of the times...), and I asked if I'd said something wrong. He said "no", so I asked, "Then why are you ignoring me?", to which he calmly and innocently answered, "Because there's nothing more to say." The only person in the world (sorry - universe) who can be so rude and not understand when you get upset has to be the Doctor.
